I sleep on the river bed, and dream of higher ground
I drowned so I could live again, and still I let you down
How can we recover now? We're taking on too much
I know you dream of somewhere else..

And I've seen it come to this
And I've seen it come to this
And I never meant to hurt you
And I never meant for this

I can't wash my hands of this, you're under my nails
And I'm still trying to manage this, boat without your sails
I'm praying for the sun again, I can't take another storm
But I see the clouds up ahead..

And I've seen it come to this
And I've seen it come to this
And I never meant to hurt you
And I never meant for this

I promised I'd return
But got lost along the way
I ran into high water
Now this is where I'll stay
If you decide to find me
I pray you'll turn away
You will not find this vessel
I'm lost beneath the waves
And I've seen it come to this
And I've seen it come to this
And I never meant to hurt you
And I never meant for this

I sleep on the river bed, and dream of higher ground
I drowned so I could live again
