Taken By The Sea

Love' lay me down;

Slay me with whispers-

Reassure me that it's alright.

I' I hit the deck;

I hit rock bottom'

But you saw me' then you caught me.

Shining like a ray of hope'

Swift like a turning sea'

Angel to comfort me-

Cradling my head in your hands.

I looked up at the sun and the fog cleared-

I saw you.

And I want you' and that's so terrifying.

And I want you to help put out the fire.

'Cause I am an island'

And you are the ocean-

And all of my sadness'

Taken by the sea.

Fall' I took a fall;

I took it easy.

On the surface I was perfect-

But down' way down below'

I started believing-

I deserved it' was I worthless?

Sinking like a rescue boat' washing right over me-

Vessel is struggling;

Waving both my hands in the air.

Then the blindness of love;

Then your arms all around me.

And I want you' and that's so terrifying.

And I want you to help put out the fire.

'Cause I am an island'

And you are an ocean-

And all of my sadness'

Taken by the sea.

And I want so much to believe

That I won't disappear in the water.

That I won't always be swimming against the tide.

Ohh...

And I want you' is that so terrifying?

And I want you to help put out the fire' oh.

'Cause I am an island'

And you are an ocean-

And all of my sadness'

Taken by the sea-

The sea.

Well I am an island' oh-

But you are the ocean-

And all of my sadness'

Taken by the sea.
