Jessica Campbell - The Anchor and The Sail lyrics

rate me

I see you looking at the wind like you wanna run

Staring out over the water like your dreams are getting farther

You don't long for me the way that you did before

‘Cause I've tried to turn you into something

Watching love fade into nothing

When all of a sudden I see

The one who is broken is me

What if I am the anchor and you are the sail

And you've been trying to move, trying to do something

And I've been holding you right here

You wanna go, you wanna go, but I wish you would stay

Is it the time to cut the ties and watch you fly away?

There was a time we swore that we would never settle down

Young and crazy, you and me, freer than the open seas

I never thought I'd be the one to ever let you go

It'll break my heart to watch you leave, but that's how this has to be

What if I am the anchor and you are the sail

And you've been trying to move, trying to do something

And I've been holding you right here

You wanna go, you wanna go, but I wish you would stay

Is it the time to cut the ties and watch you fly away?

Oh, no, you'll fly away

You wanna go, you wanna go, and I wish you would stay

What if I am the anchor and you are the sail

And you've been trying to move, trying to do something

And I've been holding you right here

And all of a sudden I see

That I'm the one who's broken

What if I am the anchor and you are the sail

And you've been trying to move, trying to do something

And I've been holding you right here

You wanna go, you wanna go, but I wish you would stay

Is it the time to cut the ties and watch you fly away?

Watch you fly away, oh, no

What if I'm the anchor, what if you are the sail?
