It's hard to think that long ago A few hundred years or so My heart was open, unbroken like a child's I was looking for a ray of light For many days and many nights Oh, with nothing but the waves roaring in sight See, I made friends with the fires The sirens and the liars Desired someone to trust, heard them say Burst and dive, start over your life With us before you give up Let yourself go for your love Go for you love, go for you love, go for your love And now I can't see Anyone coming that close to me Not that easily, that easily And that night my town saw me go With a feeling I couldn't show Held my hands on the wind, I let it blow I was moving with the speed of light For many days and many nights To escape or to survive the biggest love of my life I never questioned the waves Or the thousand of ways I moved with the ghosts from my past But one day winter froze My lonely little boat In the middle of the sea And we had to wait ourselves free The ghosts and me, free The ghosts and me, free And now I can't see Anyone coming that close to me Not that easily, that easily Years later he took me to the dock Where the boats had gone to sleep And I told him all my tales I was lying when I told him they were sweet All those things that we buried and denied That were sinking down with me And he'll never have to know All the things I buried in the sea Buried in the sea Buried in the sea Buried in the sea Buried in the sea In the sea
