LYRICS:
The captain is grey and wise
But his weakness lies in ambition
Determined eyes set on brighter skies
Set sail on a voyage
The sea calls to our desire, our demise
We search the ocean far and wide
For things that lie right in front of our eyes
If I laid on the bottom of the deepest trench
Would you lie there with me?
You could try but I wouldn't think twice
Yeah, I'd give you my last breath
So breathe that ocean air
Let the salt cleanse your lungs of the memories
Cause now I've sunk too deep to dive
So live on when there's no hope left
I left her
Yeah my reckless pride and ambitious mind
Always lead me to regret
I changed the tide, but remained unsatisfied
I stood fast against the gale
A storm was brewing, but I pressed on
In need, so unaware
All the while it lied deep within your eyes
If I laid on the bottom of the deepest trench
Would you lie there with me?
You could try but I wouldn't think twice
Oh, I'd give you my last breath
So breathe that ocean air
Let the salt cleanse your lungs of the memories
Cause now I've sunk too deep to dive
So live on when there's no hope left
"Lighthouse, lighthouse!" the captain cries
But he's sailed too deep to realize
That his will has struck him blind
In a search for what he'll never find
Becuase each hurricane has an eye
Which beholds the calm we can't recognize
Cause we're so lost searching for our sunshine
If you see a storm coming, stay inside
I was brave, but not well-equipped
Tried to hold on, but couldn't get a grip
I drowned trying to save our ship
I should have never left, I should have never let this go
Down to the bottom of the deepest trench
As you lie here with me
Yeah, you tried, but I didn't think twice
No, I gave you my last breath
So breathe that ocean air
Let the salt cleanse your lungs of the memories
The next time a storm hits land
Weather the rains, and just stay inside
The storm will pass.
