lyrics

Uninspired after 3:00am,
My bed it looms both gift and curse;
If I can sleep it will help me mend,
But lying in the dark I miss you worse.

We used to be so close, us two,
I used to see you all the time.
I always thought id catch you if you fell,
But you leapt and let your fingers slip through mine.

And you are floating away from the shore.
And you are floating in a boat with no oars.
And I can't swim, I cant swim.
No I can't swim out to save you anymore.

I never understood what you did back then,
I always thought that you were a fool.
but now I find myself on the other side,
I think i feel the same as you.

You were like a ray of sunlight
Coming through on a cloudy day;
A glimpse into a world not my own,
But even the brightest sun passes on a cloudy day.

And you are floating away from the shore.
And you are floating in a boat with no oars.
And I can't swim, I cant swim.
No I can't swim out to save you anymore.
