Taken by the Sea

Love, lay me down, slay me with whispers,

Reassure me that it's alright.

I, I hit the deck,

I hit rock bottom.

But you saw me, then you caught me.

Shining like a ray of hope,

Swift like a turning sea,

Angel to comfort me,

Cradling my head in your hands.

I looked up at the sun

And the fog cleared, I saw you.

And I want you and that's so terrifying.

And I want you to help put out the fire.

Cause I am an island, you are the ocean.

And all of my sadness taken by the sea.

Fall, I took a fall, I took it easy.

On the surface I was perfect.

But down, way down below

I started believing.

I deserved it was I worthless.

Sinking like a rescue boat,

Washing right over me,

Vessel is struggling.

Waving both my hands in the air,

Then the blindness of love,

Then your arms all around me.

And I want you and that's so terrifying

And I want you to help put out the fire

Cause I am an island, you are the ocean

And all of my sadness taken by the sea

And I want so much to believe

That I won't disappear in the water,

That I won't always be swimming against the tide.

And I want you and that's so terrifying

And I want you to help put out the fire

Cause I am an island and you are the ocean

And all of my sadness taken by the sea, the sea.

I am an island,

You are the ocean.

All of my sadness taken by the sea.
