Raise These Sails Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn't want anything more
You're not alone
See me stand here
I won't back down this time

A spirit arrives in me
Feels like I'm barely breathing
Go find your way

Go find your way

I wont back down
I wont back down this time
I need you here with me now
Now

This undeniable feeling
Well she's taking over me (over me)
This undeniable feeling
Well she's taking over me
She grabbed my hand as I grabbed that wall
Speak words I know I think I know who you are
She grabbed my hand as I grabbed that wall
Speak words I know I think I know who you are

Speak words I know I think I know who you are
I think I know just who you are
You are

Deep breathing controlled by words
God help my hands to save her
As her eyes turn white my eyes close tight

She grabbed my hand as I grabbed that wall
Speak words I know I think I know who you are
She grabbed my hand as I grabbed that wall
Speak words I know I think I know who you are

The jaded spirit of lady Catherine has haunted me

The jaded spirit of lady Catherine has haunted me
So haunting every time
