Wide sea, waves that swallow sand
Kids left their melting castles
Your body is floating like a boat
Soft bones and a pile of muscles
I used to swim with you
Now I don't
In movies they scream and wave their hands
You're calm from sips you've swallowed
I've rescued you too many times
But my lungs are now too shallow.
May somebody here save you,
But I won't
My legs can't stay still and watch you drown
But my arms can't stretch and rescue
I know I've already done my share
Let me go - is all I ask you
May somebody here save you
But I won't
I used to be your lifeguard
But I lost all of my strength
I carry scars on my back
From the times I fought
For you
And I can't take no more
I hate to see you strive
But you have To fight alone
I loved to keep you living
Now I have to stay alive
I used to breath for you
Now I won't
Wide sea, waves that swallow sand
Kids left their melting castles
