This is what I wanted

A chance for a better life than this

A life that I can't get if I'm stuck here on dry land

And when we're on the open sea

I'll take my secrets write them down for you to see

Tear them to shreds and then I'll throw them overboard

I'll watch my words fade into the tide

When the anchor drops for the last time I'll be free


And I know that I'll be miserable

When the hurricanes become unbearable

And when the lines get tangled up

And the nets are torn apart

Having turned into the wind

And the crashing waves they knock me from my feet

I hope you'll remember me

When this boy becomes a man


If I never make it home

Just know I didn't die alone


Pretending this is all I want to say

Even if I'm turned into the wind

Pretending this is all I want to say as you cry this is good bye

Pretending this is all i want to say

Even though i've turned into the wind

Pretending this is all i want to say

It's not all i want to say

It's not all i want to say

That's all there is to say...


Pretending this is all I want to say

Even if I'm turned into the wind

Pretending this is all I want to say as you cry this is good bye

Pretending this is all i want to say

Even though i've turned into the wind

Pretending this is all i want to say as you cry this is
