Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, maybe I was wrong but baby, I was only young
I was trying to burn a hole in you with someone else's sun
But now I've got to know myself, know I'm the one that needed help
I can't say I'm sorry, if I'm always on the run
[Chorus]
From the anchor
The anchor
I can't say I'm sorry if I'm always on the run
From the anchor
[Verse 2]
Oh, maybe I was wrong but baby, I was only young
I was trying to burn a hole in you with someone else's sun
But now I've got to know myself, know I'm the one that needed help
I can't say I'm sorry, if I'm always on the run
[Chorus]
From the anchor
The anchor
I can't say I'm sorry, if I'm always on the run
I can't say I'm sorry, if I'm always on the run
From the anchor
[Outro]
Oh, my love
Hold me fast
