We came in to the harbour and I saw signs
Not intending to find him standing there, all eyes
Why was I nervous to speak to a man of the sea
Maybe I was just so surprised
to have found someone like me

So we stayed up and spoke of
Everything I wish I had done
And he showed me what life could be
And I've never been so interested but
I knew I had to wake up

We tied up and he knew that I played the guitar
So I stayed singing while he listened from afar
Why was I waiting for a small conversation?
I knew he was waiting for me
So I sat down and felt like I'd found something
I never thought I would see

So we stayed up and spoke of
Everything I wish I had done
And he showed me what life could be
And I've never been so interested but
I knew I had to wake up

It's all so vivid it had to be real
All of the things he said I can still feel
And if he wasn't so far from this place
I would go tell him I wish he could stay

Just stay up and speak of
Everything I wish I had done
And show me what life can be
Cuz I've never been so interested
So we stayed up and spoke of
Everything I wish I had done
And he showed me what life could be
And I've never been so interested but
I knew I had to wake up
I knew I had to wake up
