The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Marching along, like a good soldier does
I'm setting sail, with anchors holding me down
Pack up my bags, stow them away (stow them away)
I'm bidding farewell to all that is safe
Will I come up for air? Come up for air
After a while the current is calling me
Lulling me, waving goodbye
I'm out here alone
Oh, God, can you save me now?
Sinking, my heart turns to stone
Withering away, her shrinking violet dies
So full of life, these lights have dried me out
Into the sea, I needed a drink
I never thought this would consume me whole
Will I come up for air? Come up for air
After a while the current is calling me
Lulling me, waving goodbye
I'm out here alone, oh God can you save me now? (save me now)
Sinking, my heart turns to stone (turns to stone, turns to stone)
Sinking, my heart turns to stone
Save me, take me home
Over and over again
Save me, take me home
Wishing that this all would end
Save me, take me home
Over and over again
Save me, take me home
Wishing that this all would end
After a while the current is calling me
Lulling me, waving goodbye
I'm out here alone, oh God can you save me now? (save me now)
Sinking my heart turns to stone
After a while the current is calling me
Lulling me, waving goodbye
I'm out here alone, oh God can you save me now? (save me now)
Sinking, my heart turns to stone (turns to stone, turns to stone),
Sinking, my heart turns to stone
Save me, take me home
(Will I come up for air? Will I come up for air?)
Save me, take me home
(Will I come up for air? Will I come up for air?)
Save me, take me home
Over and over again
Save me, take me home
Wishing that this all would end
