Lyrics

[Verse 1]

That time when we were crossin' the Atlantic

The moment now we reach the middle

You turned to me and said somethin' romantic

"I've won the race and you're the medal"

And all the ocean liners we were passing

Are nothin' on a sailin' whistle

And as the waves rollin', we were dancing

Like we had enough to lose a little

[Verse 2]

So sure we were contenders

So strong and willin' to fight

[Verse 3]

But it's a long way down when you're far from the ground

And I've been fallin' most of my life

And though the sun shines on even after you're gone

I feel sorry for the wasted light

Wasted light

[Verse 4]

Spill off the port into a crowded mainstream

Lookin' for somewhere to settle

Soon enough, we're lost inside the mystery

We'll be strangers before night settles

With so much to say, we've said too little

[Verse 5]

Back then we were pretenders

So young and ready to fight

[Verse 6]

Oh, but it's a long way down when you're far from the ground

I've been fallin' most of my life

And though the sun shines on even after you're gone

I feel sorry for the wasted light

I feel sorry for the wasted light

[Verse 7]

Oh, it's a long way down when you're far from the ground

I've been fallin' most of my life

And though the clock ticks on even after you're gone

I'm just shakin' hands with wasted time

I'm still prayin' you'll come home one night

[Verse 8]

Oh, it's a long way down

When you're far from ground

And though the sun shines on even after you're gone

I feel sorry for the wasted light

I'm still prayin' you'll come home one night

[Verse 9]

So here I am, crossin' the Atlantic

Maybe see you at the middle
