Shipwreck

One more try now
Then I'll give up, pick myself up
We're dead in the water
Waiting for the wind to move our ship out

The ocean below us
Unknown depths where I could follow you
I could float on this silence
Keep this attitude like a trophy

But every word is playing its part
Tell me what you need
Tell me what you want
And every thought lies hidden beneath
I can't look into you
Nor can you into me

One more try now
Then I'll head out for another shore
Been waiting for nothing
For something or someone
This swell is so soothing
Just a promise of a breaking wave
But it gets us nowhere
There's only sea here
And we won't be saved

And so I ask you one more time
What are we heading to?
Where do you want to go?
And if you still can't share that with me
And make me guess
Then I will leave

Lay awake at night in darkness
And hear the space between us grow
Is it the universe expanding?
Or do we really want to know?

So one more try now
Then I'll give up, pick myself up
I hate to leave you on this shipwreck
Left to flounder
It's all I can do now
If I don't let go I'll drown soon
The sun is setting and there's nothing to hold on to

We're still around
We're still around
We're still around
We're still around
