Miles out to sea
Swimming back to shore
Just you and me
Miles out in a darker sea
Coming back again
Covering me
Blood shivers down
Cover my heart
And floodin' the soul
We've been lost and found
Everybody's gotta try an' fill that hole
My oh my the water's deep
The water's deeper than you and me yeah
My oh my oh my how we speak
When everybody's swimming in a darker sea
sail free yeah
oh how is it me
you're sitting on a shark
staring back at me
out there the shadows fall
everybody's waiting for the sun to call
it's getting hard in this dirty down
don't let the fuckless grind you down
my oh my oh my where we're free
everyone's swimming in a darker sea
sail free
sail free
sail free
he's eleven miles out
it takes strength get him out
sail free
sail free
sail free
sail free
