The water's always been the same
But it never can behave
It's a paradox that parallels how I feel on the waves
And you can try to chill the chains
But I don't know how much would change
Can my blood get much more bitter from the ice that's in my veins
Ooh, I dream of holding you
It's lonely on the sea
But I'm the only one who knows
The captain's chair is free
His mind is on the coast
I'd turn this ship around to hear your voice again
But I'm too afraid to drown
I can't go to the anchor's end
When I left all those years ago
I swore that you would keep me whole
But I'm afraid the ocean water
Is gonna rot my heart and soul
Could I tear myself away
Could I force the course to change
Would I find you on the shoreline
Or would your footprints point away
Ooh, I dream of holding you
It's lonely on the sea
But I'm the only one who knows
The captain's chair is free
His mind is on the coast
I'd turn this ship around to hear your voice again
But I'm too afraid to drown
I can't go to the anchor's end
It's lonely on the sea
But I'm the only one who knows
The captain's chair is free
His mind is on the coast
I'd turn this ship around to hear your voice again
But I'm too afraid to drown
I can't go to the anchor's end
It's lonely on the sea
But I'm the only one who knows
The captain's chair is free
I'm headed for the coast
I'm turning this ship around to hear your voice again
Don't matter if I drown
Where you are is my anchor's end
