Anchor
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.
Every time that you tell me you want it
I can read your mind, and I'm not even on it
And now I see it, feel it, clearer than the morning
If you’re gonna go, then give a warning
I don’t wanna be the rock that holds you down
This ship has run aground
Oh, oh
And I’ll be an anchor for you
Oh, oh, oh
But you’re always cutting me loose
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’ll be your night watch
Your lighthouse, your North Star
Your red sky, your harbor
Your ocean, your shipyard
But you want to sail
With the night wind exploring
So how can I love you?
If safe waters bore you
Far away when you’re sitting right by me
But I remember when the fire was blinding
But now I see it, feel it, clearer than the morning
If you’re gonna go, then give a warning
I don’t wanna be the one to hold you down
I’ll always be around
Oh, oh
And I’ll be an anchor for you (for you, for you, for you)
Oh, oh, oh
But you’re always cutting me loose
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’ll be your night watch
Your lighthouse, your North Star
Your red sky, your harbor
Your ocean, your shipyard
But you want to sail
With the night wind exploring
So how can I love you?
If safe waters bore you
You’re out there looking for the answers
I'm here just tryna be your anchor
But I will never try to hold you down
(Hold me down)
You’re out there looking for the answers
I'm here just tryna be your anchor
But I will never try to hold you down, (do-own)
(Hold me down)
Down, down, down
Yeh, eh
And I’ll be an anchor for you
Oh, oh, oh
But you’re always cutting me loose
Oh, oh, oh, oh
