Took a lifetime burning bridges
That I had to cross alone
Lies were the string for all the stitches
Words to cover these old bones
I never thought I'd find my lighthouse
Or safer waters I could cross
Always runnin' from the right now
One more drink will fill the loss
Ohh
I'll survive because of you
It always felt like I was flying
But it was just the water rising
In all the swimming, I remember
Her saying: Don't you surrender
But love, I'm tired
But I'm still fighting
I need your arms to
Pull me right in
And carry me to your island
Hollow driftwood, worn and battered
I'd follow every heavy storm
And I was wrecked and I was scattered
When I washed up on your shore
Ohh
You're the one who got me through
Ohh
I might've died if not for you
It always felt like I was flying
But it was just the water rising
In all the swimming, I remember
Her saying: Don't you surrender
But love, I'm tired
But I'm still fighting
I need your arms to
Pull me right in
And carry me to your island
'Cause where you are the Sun is shining
Down on me
On your island
On your island
In the struggle I'm reminded
You were made for me
Love, I'm tired
But I'm still fighting
I need your arms to
Pull me right in
And be my strong wind
I can cling to
Call the tide in
Be my rescue
It always felt like I was flying
But it was just the water rising
In all the swimming, I remember
Her saying: Don't you surrender
But love, I'm tired
But I'm still fighting
I need your arms to
Pull me right in
And carry me to your island
