You Versus The Sea

Yes I swear, bravery and strength go with her name, ooh

And she said, all she had was the cross around her neck

To keep her warm, ooh

I still remember how you tried to hold these walls through perfect storms

Oh, you've lost so many homes

You said, "Hold on, everything will be okay"

I've been confused, why can't we just run away?

Was it hope that kept you alive through the years

And should I even call it living?

I've been dreaming that I found you staying in the sea

Then you told me that's where you've been

You said the water's cold but still warmer than your skin

I tried to help you but the closer I got, the further you are to me, away

[Incomprehensible]

Was it hope that kept you alive through the years

And should I even call it living?
