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
Just know I didn't die alone
