lyrics

we stood in the ocean, waiting for a sign, and gripping each other like we were the last in the world. and you said, 'i can't have you die. if you die, then i die,' and, 'please don't die.'
as the waves crash down upon us and the moon shines hard upon us, all i needed was, 'don't leave me, don't ever leave me. i need you, i need this, i need us.'
but it never came - you could never give yourself over to what i wanted so much to believe, and your fear shatters this ocean.
as the waves crash down upon us and the moon shines loud upon us, my tears for you could triple this ocean.
but i will not let it drown me. i will not let it take me, and i have to let you slip from my reach and empty into these waves.
as the moon shines loud upon us, my heart breaks wide around us. i will always love you. i love you. i loved you.
now i'm going away, just as you asked, so don't play these games with me. i'm not saying it's fair, but you've made it clear: that we close the door.
