Turn the lights out, in the lighthouse
I saw you coming
Felt the shipwreck, saw the wreckage
I heard you yelling
Just then that's when I saw your reflection in the sand
Wondering where you had washed up
Oh, I ran to the water (mmm)
I could put my hands down in it
But it won't bring nothing up
Sitting on the shore all day
Just waiting on the tide to come
Stay the night out, by the beach house
It's oh so quiet
Lit a candle, by the window
So you might find it
Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home
Still I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning (oooh)
I could put my hands down in it, yeah
But it won't bring nothing up
Sitting on the shore all day
Just waiting on the tide to come
I knew the waves were icy
When I felt them all retreating
Went to take a dive in the deep end
Oh, what was I thinking?
The rising and the falling of my tears
Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean
The ocean
The ocean
My tears that fill the ocean
