lyrics

When I walked down to the shore,
I watched the water tear you away from me.
So I, I cried out loud,
I cried out to you but I was too late.
I was too late.

So I went inside and felt a strange feeling over me.
If I had reached out to you
I could have kept you safe
I could have kept you safe
But now you're out there in the current
(It carries you away)
Buried underneath the waves.

And our past flashed right before my eyes
(our past flashed right before my eyes)
As I stood there motionless trapped in disbelief.
So many times and so many moments that we should have shared
Are now buried underneath the waves.

I just wish I could tell you
I just wish I could tell you
That I don't expect you to forgive me or to forget.
I'll just walk around this lifeless house
Singing songs. I hope they catch your ear.
You see right through me
You see right through me
So I'll look up and down the coast
You see right through me
You see right through me
So I'll look up and down the coast
