Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea, but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
[Verse 2]
Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
Of the things he's feeling
[Verse 3]
He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He'll just sail on
[Verse 4]
How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
[Verse 5]
How can I be lost? In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
[Verse 6]
These days drift on inside a fog
It's thick and suffocating
His sinking life, outside it's hell
Inside, intoxicating
[Verse 7]
He's run aground, like his life
Water much too shallow
Slipping fast, down with his ship
Fading in the shadows
[Verse 8]
Now a castaway
They've all gone away
They've gone away
[Verse 9]
How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
[Verse 10]
How can I be lost? In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
[Verse 11]
Forgive me
Forgive me not
Why can't I forgive me?
[Verse 12]
Set sail to sea, but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever?
[Verse 13]
How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
[Verse 14]
How can I be lost? In remembrance I relive
So how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
