I don't know you, but I want you all the more for that
Words fall through me and always fool me, and I can't react

Games that never amount to more than they're meant will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you had the choice, you've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me, and I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me, and I'm painted black

You have suffered enough and warred with yourself, it's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you had the choice, you've made it now
Falling slowly, sing your melody, I'll sing it loud
