[Intro]
Cold winds off the Baltic, yeah
Midnight ferry crossing, silence in my head
Can't shake these thoughts, they keep me up instead
[Verse 1]
Three AM call, my heart stops beating
Found you there, barely breathing
Sirens wailing through the streets of Mariehamn
Frozen time, like I'm caught in quicksand
White walls and waiting rooms, fluorescent lights
Counting seconds, praying you'll be alright
F*ck these demons that we never speak about
Young kings dying, while we're acting proud
[Chorus]
Crossing waters, between life and death
Ferry lights flickering, like your last breath
Could've lost you on that winter night
Now I'm haunted by these harbor lights
Yeah, I'm haunted by these harbor lights
[Verse 2]
Tough guy facade, but I'm breaking down
Can't sleep at night since I almost watched you drown
Nordic nights got us feeling so alone
Boys don't cry, that's how we were shown
But f*ck that shit, I ain't holding back no more
When death comes knocking at your best friend's door
Empty bottles can't wash away the pain
These maritime ghosts gonna drive me insane
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Before the darkness crossed your mind
Now every ferry horn reminds me of that call
When my brother nearly lost it all
[Chorus]
Crossing waters, between life and death
Ferry lights flickering, like your last breath
Could've lost you on that winter night
Now I'm haunted by these harbor lights
Yeah, I'm haunted by these harbor lights
[Outro]
Still see you in that hospital bed
All these words we should've said
But we're still here, we survived the night
Through these cold Åland harbor lights
