The salt on my tongue
Won't last long
Another taste, it slips right through me
And time passed me by
Well I was towing the line
For way too long to pick my clues up
Oh no
I can't see where to go
And oh no
I don't know where to go
The sea, it howls at me
It says "Why don't you?"
And I can't speak, and I can't move on
'Cause choice, takes a voice
That really knows what it's saying
It wraps its arms, it shuts its eyes tight
And that's the way that I would hold it
If I could get it back
Yeah, that's the way that I would hold it
If I could get on track
I've seen this before
And I threw it out that door
And I watched it wash ashore
With the stink of my doubts
And it's running up and down my spine
The fear of claiming what is mine
The doubts of earning what I find
And closing out where I end up
And I promise I would hold it
If I could get it back
