Lost At Sea
[in this moment] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My beautiful liar
Why are you crying
On your knees
You've crucified yourself
And now denial is rising
Why
So tell me

So tell me how did you lose yourself at sea
Drifting within
So tell me why did you cast yourself away
It's such a sweet addiction
You should celebrate

My beautiful liar
You are drowning
In your fear
You're cutting into me
You think if I bleed
It can save you
Why
So tell me

So tell me how did you lose yourself at sea
Drifting within
So tell me why did you cast yourself away
It's such a sweet addiction
You should celebrate

And you know if I could

I'd take your pain
But will you turn and face your disease?

“Here I am, see with my heart in my hand
Love is the plan
And you are the key,
my darling come rescue me
I'm lost at sea
Sit all alone, there is no light to lead me to my home
But I hear you calling me, my darling come rescue me, I.

I take a walk up to first street then trod up to second street
I try to find my way back home
It's a feeling that we all have been feeling said love is no more
When being alone, on my own
Ohh, I must stay strong, yeah I
This feeling has got to be, my darling come rescue me.

Yupp, I said I'm walking and I'm walking and I still can't find my way
One more second, one more minute, one more hour, one more day
Far from the city where I'm losing it that steals my heart away
I left my soul behind for one to find and live another day
I say you think this song it is for you
I bet your sitting there and I bet your smiling too
You and your girls got your only point of view
Sitting at the top looking down at the bottom at me staring back at you.
