Sinking wishes in the water
I've thrown them out
Fumbling to the floor to wait
What follows now
Let it go
Only wishes wait
I'm taking a chance to find
what's real inside
I'm taking a chance this time
On you
I've got nothing to loose
Climbing onto giant shoulders
And looking out
Longing eyes scan for a sign
Where are you now
I don't know
So I'll fall on faith
I'm taking a chance to find
what's real inside
I'm taking a chance this time
On you
I've got nothing to loose
I don't mind facing it all
Well, do you now
I won't lay under a fog
I'm moving toward you
