Plumb - Drifting lyrics

rate me

featuring Jars of Clay’s Dan Haseltine

There’s a sea of lonely swimming sad

Looking just for an arm to grab

I don’t need to understand

I’m just lending you the two that I have

You might be drifting

And can’t find the shore

So hopeless and all alone

The waves are crashing all around you

Just when you’ve lost the will to live

You see the sun

Can we make a searchlight

From all the bridges that we burn?

Do you see a rescue?

Or a deeper kind of hurt?

Who could love you,

Who could hold you?

I’d swim across the sea

You don’t have to be alone

Where the shallow gets so deep

You might be drifting

And can’t find the shore

So hopeless and all alone

The waves are crashing all around you

Just when you’ve lost the will to live

You see the sun

I am hurt and nearly drown

(Open up your eyes)

I cry for help you turned around

(Open up your eyes)

Farther from the shore

Or you’ll be farther from the shore

I am hurt and nearly drown

(You’re not alone)

I cry for help you turned around

(I’m not letting go)

Farther from the shore

So you’re not farther from the shore

You might be drifting

And can’t find the shore

So hopeless and all alone

The waves are crashing all around you

Just when you’ve lost the will to live

You see the sun
