I could keep rowing
But I can feel the ocean stir
Evil winds are blowing
Shaking tears onto the mother Earth
Look back I can't see the shore
Lost now more than ever before
I'm losing sight and wondering
"Is there anything more?"
Bound up by the words that I can't say
But they hold me down
Couldn't keep my head above the waves
And I might drown
So I'm gonna sail away
But I'll be gone in the morning
These empty nights won't let me stay
I know there's a brighter place
Somewhere off in the distance
I might meet you there someday
I'm tired of running
I wish I could run away
I can feel what's coming
Feel it creeping closer every day
My spirit's overflowing
Pouring over into everything
I don't wanna hurt you
Never thought I could be
Bound up by the words that I can't say
But they hold me down
Broken-hearted people never change
While they're around
So I'm gonna sail away
But I'll be gone in the morning
These empty nights won't let me stay
I know there's a brighter place
Somewhere off in the distance
I might meet you there someday
But broken-hearted people never change
And I don't wanna run, just run away
Yeah
So I'm gonna sail away
But I'll be gone in the morning
These empty nights won't let me stay
I know there's a brighter place
Somewhere off in the distance
I might meet you there someday
But broken-hearted people never change (I'll just hold you down)
And I don't wanna run, just run away
But broken-hearted people never change (I'll just hold you down)
Running from the problems I can't face
