Sail Away

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's 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, oh

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, oh

But I got caught up in the waves along the way

I'm sinking

You're fading

This ship's 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

To find another place where I can stay

All I ever wanted was to sail away, oh

But I got caught up in the waves along the way
