It came to be just you and me on the open sea
The water's gone and we don't have long
So I wrote this song for you and me to sing
We're not friends but it's the end, better make amends
Don't want a death filled with regret
So I'll take what I can get
Well we aren't gonna make it
But can't you see
Gotta do our best just to get happy
And make our peace with the open sea
You just sigh, look toward the sky, and I ask you why
You said "you must be mad if you can't see that
It's ok to cry
I'm not afraid but you know I made a bunch of dumb mistakes
The life I had ain't comin' back so I can't relate
"Sure we aren't gonna make it
But can't you see
I'd rather sit here quietly
And find some peace in the open sea."
