[Verse 1]
I’m tying knots in a string just to feel the pull
Looking for a hero, but the room is just dull
I built a boat out of dreams of a "perfect man"
Strong and steady with a life-saving plan
But you’re just a ghost on a shore I can’t reach
And I’m just a boy washed up on the beach
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m a sailor in a storm of my own design
Chasing a boy I’ll never find
He’s cute and he's strong, he’s a beautiful deep
But he’s only a promise I don't get to keep
Yeah, the waves are tall and the water is cold
I’m just waiting for a hand that I’ll never hold
[Bridge]
Maybe the anchor is the hope that I’m keeping
The reason I’m waking, the reason I’m sleeping
I’m cutting the rope, but I’m still standing still
Fighting the ocean and the power of the will!
[Outro]
Just a sailor
Lost at sea
He’s not coming...
For me
