Sometimes I want you to hurry

So we can get to the end

I’m sick of tellin a story

That I just couldn’t defend

I want to cross the sea

But it’s not up to me



All things done and said I’m going under again

For years and for hours I’ve missed you

I’m back at the start but I don’t know who you are

In the hope and the shame I’ve missed you

All things said and done I’m left holding the gun

Holding the gun

Tearing at the seams while I try to believe

For years and for hours I’ve missed you



You’ve never given an answer

That didn’t give you away

You say you’re doin your best to hold the light

But you’re not even awake

I want to cross the sea

But it’s not up to me



All things done and said I’m going under again

For years and for hours I’ve missed you

I’m back at the start but I don’t know who you are

In the hope and the shame I’ve missed you

All things said and done I’m left holding the gun

Holding the gun

Tearing at the seams while I try to believe

For years and for hours I’ve missed you



She’s starting to breach

And flooded with fear

She’s taking on water mixed with tears

It’s under my feet

And over my head

I don’t understand how you can sleep through this



All things done and said I’m going under again

For years and for hours I’ve missed you

I’m back at the start but I don’t know who you are

In the hope and the shame I’ve missed you

All things said and done I’m left holding the gun

Holding the gun

Tearing at the seams while I try to believe

For years and for hours I’ve missed you
