Sail Away

(album: Audrey Horne - 2010)

I don't need to write it down
I've known these lines by heart for years
But everytime I try they seem to lack a certain elegance
Anyway I wanted you to know that I'll be staying in this year
Cause I believe you're better off without me here

I'm sinking
You're fading
This ship has been lost at sea
I'm drowning
You're leaving
That's how it is

Treading water's never been a thing for me

So long it's been a very good year
And I know it takes a lifetime to repay
All I ever wanted was to sail away
But I got caught up in the waves along the way

Thought I found myself
Had a bucketful and threw it all away
So long, it's all gone now
This year, yeah, I spent it all
I only did it to prove I could

So long it's been a very good year
And I know it takes a lifetime to repay
All I ever wanted was to sail away
But I got caught up in the waves along the way

I'm sinking
You're fading
This ship has been lost at sea
I'm drowning
You're leaving
That's how it is

Treading water's never been a thing for me

So long it's been a very good year
And I know it takes a lifetime to repay
All I ever wanted was to sail away
But I got caught up in the waves along the way
