How to stop a heart from sinking There are holes in this ship And the water leaks in I saw the storm before it hit the shore The waves were crashing at your knees And you were calling out to me How to keep a head above When every breath Draws more water into my lungs I saw the storm before it hit the shore The waves were crashing at your knees And you were calling out But I'm already sunk Now the storm begins to blow a gale The wind was catching in your sails And every word you screamed to me Was blown out far across the sea I couldn't keep you long enough Drifted further out with every touch The tide pulled back into the waves And I tried calling out your name But you had turned and walked away And when you had your lonely days That's when you'd come back to find my trace
