The waves crash in and the waves crash out
The wind blows the air and my thoughts fly about
And I know I would call you, if ever I could
But the wind takes its toll on the salt in my blood
And I know I would die, if I ever should leave you alone


The moon comes up and the stars above
The tide holds its sway on the ache in my blood
And could I have loved you a little bit more?
But I know that I tried like I never before
And I know I would die, if I ever should leave you alone


Don't let me stop you
You gotta find out


Lately I've been holding back my thoughts
Trying to keep them down to one or two
Lately I've been holding back my tears
Just to stop them all from pouring through
I know you think I'm staggering
But lately I've been staggering back
I been holding back my fears
Just to stop it all from coming true
I know you think I'm staggering
But lately I've been staggering back home
