hold me

i left my heart on the ocean floor, i lost my heart to you, how could i repay you, cold and drowning at the bottom of the sea, i had nothing left for me, but i knew you could save me and you did, so hold me until the tide is low, and hold me until the sun has shown, the sun has shown, i need you as the waves come near, without you i'd just disappear, i'd disappear, i once was told life would flash before my eyes, and now i know they couldn't be more right, you know i'd speak but my tears would block my cry, the water's cold and it's rising quick, i never learned i never win, and now i'm falling with no return, so hold me until the tide is low, and hold me until the sun has shown, the sun has shown, i need you as the waves come near, without you i'd just disappear, oh i'd disappear, i've waited my whole life for you, and now that i've got you i've ruined it once again, now once again i need you so, and i'm trying hard to keep afloat, 'cause i know, i know, i'll be coming home, so hold me 'til the tide is low, and hold me until the sun has shown, the sun has shown, i need you as the waves come near, without you i'd just disappear, oh i'd disappear
