lyrics

The clock struck 4:45 when I closed my eyes.
Now I awake, I see my life

Ordered by disarray, Rocked by the waters
Rocked by the broken waves.
All my anchors have gone away.

A handshake, a smile, and a warm embrace,
Framed black and white.
But this picture could never measure up
To my memory of you.

And I’ll treasure the times we had,
But I can’t help but regret that I wasted our days away.

Your loss has taken all of my heart, my balance is gone.
You are the only one who could bring me back
To my feet, but I’m alone.

Set me straight again, I have lost all my direction.
You stayed around to say goodbye,
When the time came I disengaged.

One errant choice was all that brought me a year,
A year of remorse.
I’ve sealed my fate.

And every day, I’m forced to relive how I ran away.
Ran away from you.

There are so many things that I wish I could say,
But instead here I am, standing before your grave.

And I hope you know
That who you were is who I want to be.
When I see you reaching out in my dreams,

Its like you were never gone.
The moment that we speak I know,
Though its been so long,
That none of my mistakes matter.
You’ve brought me the peace I needed
To part with you.

So set sail for one last time,
Let these waves carry you beyond the tides.
Rest and you will find
It won’t be long until we meet again.
But until that day comes,
I’ll hold you in my heart.

All my anchors have gone.

You should know
That everything you were has meant everything to me.
