Lifeboat

Storm clouds gather on the skyline Bare feet hanging off the pier Broken bottles in the moonlight Echo every wasted year I’ve been drowning in the shallow end Waves of faces, not a friend Every prayer I ever whispered Got swallowed by the wind But something in the dark kept calling Soft as a heartbeat in the rain Pulled me from the edge of falling Spoke my name You’re my lifeboat on a midnight ocean When the world goes under, you still float In the chaos, you’re my calm devotion Holding all the pieces of my soul When the water’s rising over my head And I’m sinking down with all this regret You pull me close, won’t let me go You’re my lifeboat, you’re my lifeboat I used to chase my own reflection In every lonely city light Silver promises and empty glasses Running from the morning sky But your love cut through the sirens Turned the noise to quiet truth Now every scar I tried to hide in Finds a home inside of you You saw the storm inside my breathing Held me steady through the fear Every time my hope was leaving You drew near You’re my lifeboat on a midnight ocean When the world goes under, you still float In the chaos, you’re my calm devotion Holding all the pieces of my soul When the water’s rising over my head And I’m sinking down with all this regret You pull me close, won’t let me go You’re my lifeboat, you’re my lifeboat If the sky falls, if the tide turns cruel If I lose faith in every rule I’ll remember how you found me there Breathless, helpless, out of air And you breathed your mercy in my lungs Turned my mourning into songs Now every tear that ever fell Becomes a river where your river dwells Oh, you’re my shelter in the flood My saving grace, my flesh and blood When I can’t stand, when I can’t cope You hold me up, you are my hope You’re my lifeboat on a midnight ocean When the world goes under, you still float In the chaos, you’re my calm devotion Holding all the pieces of my soul When the water’s rising over my head And I’m sinking down with all this regret You pull me close, won’t let me go You’re my lifeboat, you’re my lifeboat So if the waves come, let ‘em roll I’ve got an anchor in my soul As long as I’m here in your arms’ hold I’ll never face the storm alone You’re my lifeboat
