lyrics

It was one of those times - we saw one another
Like we used to back in the day
You fill me in on the things you've been up to
Ever since you went away, ever since you went away

You sound quite excited, you seem so delighted
But under that smile I can see
Another young man who cannot understand
the happiness he left at sea, the happiness out at the sea

Life gets crazy with twists and turns
Sometimes it can leave you burned
Like a boat stuck out in the road
Bearing far too much of a load

Your sails used to fill with the wind at your back
As you cut through the waters with ease
And now you're not sure of the journey before you
Nothing comes guaranteed in a life far out at the sea

Watching waiting for something to change
Sometimes life needs to be rearranged

Many a journey takes many a soul down a path they’re not ready to face
They force their way through, not sure what to do till they realize they’re in the wrong place
They've wound up in the wrong place
I’m not here to lead you, I can’t do it for you
I won’t let you go run and hide
The place I belong if you’ll have me along
Is walking with you at your side
I'll be walking right by your side
