Castaway Lyrics by Bayside

There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive

2024

[Verse 1]
If I could have a moment
Of peace then that'd be great
Without the pressures of the world
Screaming in my face
I'm homeward bound
Well, that's if only I could find my way
And don't make a sound
Don't wanna give away my hiding place

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway
I prayed the winds would guide my way
The gods were fools to believe in me
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway

[Verse 2]
When the party's over
You have to pay the check
And how could I have paid my dues
And still be in your debt?
I'm homеward bound
And breathing with the motion of the wavеs
And I hear the sound of tiny broken dreams that drop like rain

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway
I prayed the winds would guide my way
The gods were fools to believe in me
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway

[Bridge]
In my eyes, I'm almost human
I take my time with nowhere to put it
And all my chances to set things right
Are passing by

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway
I prayed the winds would guide my way
The gods were fools to believe in me
'Cause I'm a friendly castaway
