Lyrics
Sail away, don't know where I'm going to
Show me how
There's a way I will find it soon
let me know, when you've had enough
in my mind I will be safe here.
Let me be, don't know where I'm going to
show me how, there's a way you'll find it soon
chase the bottle down with some misery
take me anywhere I won't give a damn.
Let me know when you've had enough
in my mind I will be safe here, safe here.
Please let me go
I will be steps away from being your after
please let me go
I will be steps away from being your afterlife
Let me know when you've had enough yeah
in my mind I will be safe here, safe here
Please let me go
I will be steps away from being your after
please let me go
I will be steps away from being your after
What the hell will I do when your gone away
in my mind will I say all I'm going to say
how can I ever live when I cannot look into
your eyes and get lost in your perfect face
what the hell will I do when your gone away
in my mind will I say all I'm going to say
how can I ever live when I cannot look in your
eyes again...
