lyrics

And here I am, with one true end
Face the sea, looking at me
Swam to the rocks, pulled myself up
Distant it seems, dropping in a dream

If I die will we still fly

Slave to this fate
Should I swim or wait
Lonely as I survive
Trapped in this place

Met a friend, that we depend
Brought me in, alive again
Kept each other warm, afraid of this storm
Will we reprimand, all of this again

If I stay could you betray

Slave to this fate
Should I swim or wait
Lonely as I survive
Trapped in this place
We've fallen to this fate
Should we stay and wait
Together as we survive
Free in this place

Freezing, together we were
Keeping, our senses dry
Warming, the touch of envy has
Taken control

And I've never been so close to see
You took me in, and gave me a chance to be

Slave to this fate
Should I swim or wait
Lonely as I survive
Trapped in this place
We've fallen to this fate
Should we stay and wait
Together as we survive
Free in this place

And I've never been so close to see
You took me in, and gave me a chance to be
