lyrics

I used to hold your hand
Now I'm holding my breath
Like a fool who waits
For time already spent
Time already spent
You took that chance
How could you resist
Left me empty handed
With a head full of promises
Now you're drifting
on an inland sea
I'm waiting on the winds to change
Blow you back to me
Blow wind blow
That ship back to shore
I wanna know what I've been waiting for
I watch the tides rise
I watch 'em fall
Some days a rage
Some days a calm
Each wave that rolls
Is not the same as the last
Waiting on a perfect wave
That's gonna bring you back
Now you're drifting
on an inland sea
I'm waiting on the winds to change
Blow you back to me
Blow wind blow
That ship back to shore
I wanna know what I've been waiting
From the rocky cliffs in the morning mist
You're testing my vigilance
From the sandy beach where the water meets the sky
I'm wondering why
I used to hold your hand
Now I'm holding my breath
Blow wind blow
Blow you back
