My number came up today
They're sending me across the Waves
I don't like the ocean, but I'm told that my emotions
Tend to lead me astray
Promise me you'll be my gal
You'll send a post just once in a while
You'll sleep beside my dirty clothing
Stay up every night just hoping I'll be okay
I'll make it but
All in all, it's all the still the same
I'm in love, you're not coming back to me
Hold me down, let the water run over all I've done
Till I'm back in your arms again
Hold the phone, you say I make no sense
Okay I'll back things up, I'm dropping all pretense
So let me start by saying, all I done with you
Was in the way of Self-defense
You see the world's been kind, oh but most times cruel
And I've lived long enough to know when I'm the fool
Baby if I'm going off to war I gotta know exactly
who I'm doing it for
So don't fake it
All in all, it's all the still the same
I'm in love, you're not coming back to me
Hold me down, let the water run over all I've done
Till I'm back in your arms again
Woah oh oh
I'm lonely love, lonely love
Let me know where you are
I'll go there no matter how far
I'll rise up from hell to your star
It must be love just because
It's the only thing I'm sure of
Do you remember when we stole the treasure chest?
Just you and me then, I like those times best
Would it matter baby if I said I die to go back there again
Would I pass your test?
Well girl I take what I can get cause...
All in all, it's all the still the same
I'm in love, you're not coming back to me
Hold me down, let the water run over all I've done
From the valley bold to the setting sun
Let the people see all that's meant to be
That I was right for you and you were right for me
Take me from the guns, and from the front
and back in your arms
