How many years have we waited

for a ship that never set sail?

And how many days have we wasted

chasing a love that was not our own?

I sat ashore and watched

as one hopeless wave crashed upon another

while my thoughts ran to the hills

my heart never reached the sea

with only delusions of an endless journey

I am left with an ocean between you and me



Is this your salvation?

Is this all you can give?

I will not stand in reflection

of someone else's dream



The gate to my heart has been weld shut

with the splendor of my aspirations closed in

how many years have we waited

for a ship that never set sail?

And how many days have we wasted

chasing a love that was not our own?



Is this your salvation?

Is this all you can give?

I will not stand in reflection

of someone else's dream
