The Current
Ferguson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're sailing far away.

Where do you have to go?

You're finding that its worth

Every mile you have to row
To see whatever you are looking for.

I'd like to regulate

Every wave that you create.

If you throw me overboard

I will travel in your wake

To see whatever you are looking for.

Storms will arise and blow me away.

But, you're lovely eyes are like beacons anyway.

So, I'll sit here in the sand

Waiting for your little hands

To find my sallow face,

When you finally understand

And see whatever you are looking for.





You'll see whatever you are looking for.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Current by Ferguson evoke a sense of longing and distance between two people. The first stanza describes the singer as sailing far away, asking where they have to go. This indicates that the singer's journey is independent and their destination is unknown to the singer. However, the singer acknowledges that the journey is worth it, despite the hardships the singer may face, because they are searching for something they feel is important.


In the second stanza, the singer expresses a desire to be with the singer, to regulate every wave they create. But even if the singer sails away and goes on without them, the singer is willing to follow their wake to see whatever it is they are searching for. The third stanza describes potential obstacles that may arise, such as storms that may blow the singer away. However, the beauty of the singer's eyes are like beacons to the singer, and they continue to wait for the singer to return.


The final stanza expresses a sense of hope that the singer will eventually find what they are looking for, and that they will see whatever it is they are searching for. The longing and distance present in the earlier stanzas is overcome, and the singer is confident that their connection will persist, even if the singer's journey takes them far away.


Overall, The Current by Ferguson is a beautiful expression of love in the face of distance and the unknown. It speaks to the eternal hope we all possess, that we will find what we are seeking and that those who love us will always be there to support us.
