We watched the sunset fade across the water where we lay
Aimless drifting softly, no sight of land
I still remember how the starlight danced across your face
As I held you close and we slipped further out
Waves crash over me
They pull you under
Filling up your lungs with salt and sea
I could be your breath
I'd be your oxygen
If you would only take my hand
The storm rose as we slept
Leaving us stranded in the depths
We held tightly to the wreckage and hoped for the dawn
Our last flare lit the sky as hope fell from your eyes
Waves crash over me
They pull you under
Filling up your lungs with salt and sea
I could be your breath
I'd be your oxygen
If you would only take my hand
The angry waters consume us
Dissolve and wash us away
The dark gave way to dawn just as I carried you to shore
You died there in my arms and there was nothing left to say
Waves crash over me
They pull me under
Filling up my lungs with salt and sea
You could be my breath
You'd be my oxygen
If you would only take my hand
