lyrics

the water was never too still
not a passive wave without a hill
but waves always found a way to kill
was the trip really worth the thrill

and sirens come out when all is wrong
with voice too pretty to mute their songs
preach love but feeling hate
we'd stay up late just to grab a taste

(chorus x2)
so send your blessings off to sea
let the waves take all of me
respect the tidings sent my way
I'll grab the distance and my breaking waves

but the flags are risen only half mast
in a cheap attempt to renew the past
cloth tattered up beyond repair
stitches never really hide despair

so oh, oh no, stay on track with me
so oh, good Lord, tell me you'll never leave

or you could

(chorus x2)
send your blessings off to sea
let the waves take all of me
respect the tidings sent my way
I'll grab the distance and my breaking waves

tell the captain the sea burns around me
tell the captain to go and leave me be
I stuck with this ship when all it did was float
I'll stick with this ship until it bloody blows

tell the captain the sea burns around me
tell the captain to go and leave me be
I stuck with this ship when all it did was float
I'll stick with this shit, until it fucking blows

so tell me you'll never leave
just tell me you'll never leave
tell me you'll never leave, no
just tell me you'll never leave
