Song for You

The waves crash over me again

And again

There's a storm approaching land

And I'm so far out in the undertow

Blindly praying for the sand

I built a boat that caused my sinking

Nothing to blame but my own hands

The final lifeboat has been taken

And I find I'm playing with the band

This song for you

This song for you

When we first met I held a hammer in my hands

A box of nails I used before

Turns out the woodshed now is empty

I didn't know the job in store

I thought the plans I drew were carefully drawn

But alas, I'm just a fool

And now I'm drowning in my sorrow

Like when a builder blames his tools

And sings his song for you

Singing his song for you

"Find what you love and let it kill you"

But I have always been unsure

If this was spoken by a mad man

Or by a doctor with a cure

So as I am fighting with the ocean

Too soon to tell if I'll survive

Will I meet you underwater?

Will we be swallowed by the tide?

And drown in this song

Drown in this song for you
