Your heart is a man o' war,
Each rhythm so transparent,
Your love you keep in a bottle,
On the ocean it's drifting,
Your anchors will be lifted from the sea,
And your moorings they will all break free
And sailing you will be,
Sailing across the sea,
The corals will not tempt you,
And the winds will not prevail,
The waves will rise to meet you,
And they'll nudge you toward resolve,
And the anger that once stirred the waters to their crest,
Is now buried deep beneath the ocean floor in a wooden chest,
Sailing,
Sailing you should be,
(Solo)
Your anchors will be lifted from the sea,
And your moorings they all will break free
Sailing,
Sailing you should be,
Your heart is an olive branch,
You've been waiting for a sign of land,
Your love you keep in a wooden chest,
It's lost in the murky depths,
You're drowing on dry land and you just can't breathe,
I'm stranded in an ocean with no breeze to carry me,
Sailing,
Sailing across the sea,
Sailing,
You should be sailing back to me
