Openwater Lyrics by Fish (Rock)

13th Star

2007

I'm running out of options, running out of road, got no sense of direction, sliding out of control
Going in search of nowhere, just some place to hide, from these omnipresent problems
I just can't hide from life

You set sail under cover of the darkness
By the early light I knew that you had gone
In search of new horizons, where the sky melts in the sea
I followed in the hope that I could catch you
And convince you our directions were the same
That we could steer the same journey across the oceans
Fly our flags together in a heaven full of stars
But you blew out the water the first chance that you had

If you want me, you know exactly where I am
Adrift in open water, I'm gazing at the stars I'll be gazing at the stars

I went down with all hands in the morning;
I was clinging to the wreckage of a dream
Praying for a rescue that I knew would never come
I watched your sails disappear into the distance;
I saw my life in the currents floating by
I was left to the mercy of the four winds and the tides
To carry me to shorelines where sea and sands collide

If you want me, you know exactly where I am, adrift in open water
I'll be gazing at the stars, I'll be gazing at the stars

You said more in the things you didn't say
I told you that I loved you and I meant it
We were heading for the rocks; we'd reached the point of no return
One day I will manage to forget you, one day I will get you out of my mind
Delete the photographs, the images, the numbers on the phone
The messages you sent me that I held on for so long

If you want me, you know exactly where I am, sailing open waters
I'll be gazing at the stars, I'll be gazing at the stars
