I watch your attempts of leaving As you meander outside my coast But I've got what you need for heaving The anchor and burn our boats Ironically I've got the sail You need to get off my shore This canvas of self-betrayal Will take you away forevermore I hope against hope, all the way I avoid the misericord I pray that you, at the end of the day Will invite me onboard On the one hand I want you to come to me To be near you one last day On the other it's painful the closer you'll be To hoist sails and go far away The tighter the rope, the looser the knot Inescapable, but what though The bait that dispels you is all that I've got I'm the reason that you go I hope against hope, all the way I avoid the misericord I pray that you, at the end of the day Will invite me onboard I hope against hope, all the way I avoid the misericord I pray that you, at the end of the day Will invite me onboard I hope against hope, all the way I avoid the misericord I pray that you, at the end of the day Will invite me Invite me You will invite me on board
