about

First song I ever wrote. Based on a true story.

lyrics

I, I sat in a bar
and I waited for you to arrive
the ad in the paper, it said that we'd go far
but we'd be lucky if we made it out alive

we went sailing on a Saturday night
we found the north star and we put it behind us
soon we were drowning in an endless sea of white
that's breaking and crushing this place where nobody can find us

so maybe I have led you to your death
but I promise you I'm not done fighting yet
so raise your eyes and lift your chin
you knew what you were getting into
and I have no regrets

I, I sat in a boat
and I waited to wait out the rain
a dozen planks of driftwood that could barely even float
and all of a sudden we were facing down a hurricane

so maybe I have led you to your death
but I promise you I'm not done fighting yet
so raise your eyes and lift your chin
you knew what you were getting into
and I have no regrets

just close your eyes and dream of somewhere warm
for now it's only us against this storm
maybe if we're lucky we might make it back again
but until then, we can just pretend

I, I lay on the shore
and I waited for help to arrive
but one tiny island was one tiny journey more
just up a mountain and down the other side

so maybe I have led you to your death
but I promise you I'm not done fighting yet
so raise your eyes and lift your chin
you knew what you were getting into
and I have no regrets
I have no regrets
