He’s lost in his thoughts again
Tunnel vision setting in and he’s blinded by the absence of the light
He went down to the river
Dropped to his knees and said
If you take me now, I won’t put up a fight
But the ink on the pages hasn’t dried
He hesitates as the water begins to rise

He said No
Caught in the waves, caught in the waves
I’m not giving up tonight
He would go
Rip rip out the page
Burn up the ending and rewrite
There’s misery in this life and I won’t let the pain define me
Now I know I can’t repay, I can’t repay you for bringing me back to life

His will is wearing thin, in a tunnel caving in
He’s slowing down without an end in sight
He went down to the river
Dropped to his knees and said
Would you wash away the ghost of me tonight
But the ink on the pages hasn’t dried
He hesitates as the water begins to rise

He said No
Caught in the waves, caught in the waves
I’m not giving up tonight
He would go
Rip rip out the page
Burn up the ending and rewrite
There’s misery in this life and I won’t let the pain define me
Now I know I can’t repay I can’t repay you for bringing me back to life

You’re bringing me back
But the ink on the pages hasn’t dried
He hesitates as the water begins to rise
He said No
Caught in the waves, caught in the waves
I’m not giving up tonight
He would go rip rip out the page
Burn up the ending and rewrite
There’s misery in this life and I won’t let the pain define me
Now I know I can’t repay I can’t repay you for bringing me back to life
There’s misery in this life and I won’t let the pain define me
Now I know I can’t repay I can’t repay you for bringing me back to life
