Anchor Lyrics by Pentatonix

The Lucky Ones (Deluxe)

2021

[Verse 1]
Every time that you tell me you want it
I can read your mind and I’m not even on it
And now I see it, feel it, clearer than the morning
If you’re gonna go, then give a warning
I don’t wanna be the rock that holds you down

[Pre Chorus]
This ship has run aground
Oh oh

[Chorus]
And I'll be an anchor for you
Oh oh, oh
But you're always cutting me loose
Oh oh, oh oh

[Post-Chorus]
I'll be your night watch
Your lighthouse, your North Star
Your red sky, your harbor
Your ocean, your shipyard
But you want to sail
With the night wind exploring
So how can I love you
If safe waters bore you?

[Verse 2]
Far away when you're sitting right by me
But I remember when the fire was blinding
And now I see it, feel it, clearer than the morning
If you're gonna go, then give a warning
I don't wanna be the one to hold you down
I'll always be around
Oh oh

[Chorus]
And I'll be an anchor for you
Oh oh, oh
But you're always cutting me loose
Oh oh, oh oh

[Post-Chorus]
I'll be your night watch
Your lighthouse, your North Star
Your red sky, your harbor
Your ocean, your shipyard
But you want to sail
With the night wind exploring
So how can I love you
If safe waters bore you?

[Bridge]
You're out there looking for the answers
I'm here just tryna be your anchor
But I will never try to hold you down
(Hold me down)
You're out there looking for the answers
I'm here just tryna be your anchor
But I will never try to hold you down, do-own
(Hold me down)
Down, down, down

[Chorus]
And I'll be an anchor for you
Oh oh, oh
But you're always cutting me loose
Oh oh, oh oh
