Taking On Water
On a sailboat I am slowly floating nowhere
Lost the memories of where I am and why
Black ocean churning, a million stars are burning
Planetariums were right about the sky
Once upon a day, I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind, take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves, and I'm taking on water
Hard to see, I won't always be alone
There was a time when August sun was high and centered on me,
On a sailboat I am slowly floating nowhere
Lost the memories of where I am and why
Black ocean churning, a million stars are burning
Planetariums were right about the sky
Once upon a day, I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind, take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves, and I'm taking on water
Hard to see, I won't always be alone
There was a time when August sun was high and centered on me,
But it did me on my back and settled down
Used to scream through the land, used to size it in my head
But it fell behind the line that leads to sky
Once upon a day, I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind, take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves, and I'm taking on water
Hard to see, I won't always be alone
Inside this storm,
Once upon a day, I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind, take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves, and I'm taking on water
Hard to see, I won't always be alone
Inside this storm,
whipping in the wind
My sail is torn
In other words
The ends, are never not my own
Hard to see
I won't always be alone
On a sailboat I am slowly floating nowhere
Hoping someday I'd wash upon someone else's shore
My sail is torn
In other words
The ends, are never not my own
Hard to see
I won't always be alone
On a sailboat I am slowly floating nowhere
Hoping someday I'd wash upon someone else's shore
