Its staring you, its staring me 

Staring words I don't feel you believe 

It's giving hope to all of us 

Who'd sooner play a rich man's game than fall in love. 

You come apart with everything like a bird with wings that has no reason to fly. 

And so I watch the waves surround us, leave us shipwrecked on a desert island filled with pirates 

This time treasure will not save us 



Run away and they will only follow you 

Sail away and the waves will come for you 



Now this ghost ship it haunts my dreams, abandon hope. I swim for love, baby 

I reached the shore, saved by a storm, this shows me what I have become 

A diary that speaks of torture, we're your passengers all heartbroken, in black and white 

Such a graceful suicide 



Run away and they will only follow you, 

Sail away and the waves will come for you 



The TV cracks as I reach out for you 

You've been brainwashed this world's got to you too. 

The pretty face on the magazine ain't you. 

The waves will come for you 



Run away and they will only follow you 

Sail away and the waves will come for you 

The waves...
