[Verse 2:]
Can we make a searchlight
From all the bridges that we burn?
Do you see a rescue
Or a deeper kind of hurt?
Who could love you?
Who could hold you?
I'd swim across the sea.
You don't have to be alone
Where the shallow gets so deep.
[Chorus:]
You might be drifting
And can't find the shore,
So Hopeless
And all alone.
The waves are crashing
All around you.
Just when you've lost the will to live
You see the sun.
[Bridge:]
CI am hurt and nearly drown.
Open up your eyes.
DI cry for help. You turn around.
Open up your eyes.
EmFarther from the shore,
Or you'll be Afarther from the shore.
CI am hurt and nearly drown.
You're not alone.
DI cry for help. You turn around.
I'm not letting go.
EmFarther from the shore,
So you're not
AFarther from the shore.
[Chorus:]
You might be drifting
And can't find the shore,
So Hopeless
And all alone.
The waves are crashing
All around you.
Just when you've lost the will to live
You see the sun.

There's a sea of lonely,

Swimming sad,

Looking just for

An arm to grab.

I don't need to

Understand.

I'm just lending you

The two that I have.

Oh--

[Verse 2:]

Can we make a searchlight

From all the bridges that we burn?

Do you see a rescue

Or a deeper kind of hurt?

Who could love you?

Who could hold you?

I'd swim across the sea.

You don't have to be alone

Where the shallow gets so deep.

[Chorus:]

You might be drifting

And can't find the shore,

So Hopeless

And all alone.

The waves are crashing

All around you.

Just when you've lost the will to live

You see the sun.

[Bridge:]

I am hurt and nearly drown.

Open up your eyes.

I cry for help. You turn around.

Open up your eyes.

Farther from the shore,

Or you'll be farther from the shore.

I am hurt and nearly drown.

You're not alone.

I cry for help. You turn around.

I'm not letting go.

Farther from the shore,

So you're not

Farther from the shore.

[Chorus:]

You might be drifting

And can't find the shore,

So Hopeless

And all alone.

The waves are crashing

All around you.

Just when you've lost the will to live

You see the sun.
