I write a short song, about a long song A vow to you, a note to everyone A stroke of blue, uncommonly cool Painting a coat, not meant to last long For us both, we can do anything we want When you give up You'll have to say your fine Before I say good-bye, before I hang up And I won't lie to you It does seem hopeless, I'm losing focus As we wait for sea change Wait for the next wave The storm that's coming The storm is coming home Let me know when you give up, all hope and light Let me know when you're wasted, I'm feeling alright When you're feeling anxious, we'll start the climb When our will is broken, we'll build a new life When your fight is finished I know I'm more secure state of mind
