When I first saw her there amongst the wreckage
A memento to a former life, I nearly lost it
All those memories were burned away, and II
Felt nothing after that
Everywhere, lives were scattered on the streets
And I was terrified of what I was gonna find next
The waters came, and swept away our pride
Everything I ever loved was lost in the tide
Where were you, when the waters overthrew
All sense of normalcy, and when they did recede
They left behind a trail, of things that I had failed
To defend from the storm or myself
Save what you can grab, there's not a lot of time
Leave me here with all the things you'd rather leave behind
I'll watch the ark depart as the waves swallow me whole
I'd say that I was sorry, but I'm sure you already know
The fires glowed deep into the night
But I've seen all I need to see, the last thing I need is light
To show me all the things, I could've saved but didn't
If I die tonight please know that till the end my heart was in it
Miles away, let the wind carry me home
Back to where I should've been, a long long time ago
I hope that you can hear me, I hope that you can see
I hope that when it's over, there'll be something left of me
Save what you can grab, there's not a lot of time
Leave me here with all the things you'd rather leave behind
I'll watch the ark depart, as the waves swallow me whole
I'd say that I was sorry, but I'm sure you already know
All I want is there to be some memory of you left for me
To hold on to before I drown, Your voice will be the last thing
I hear before I finally drown
And go down
Save what you can grab, there's not a lot of time
Leave me here with all the things you'd rather leave behind
I'll watch the ark depart, as the waves swallow me whole
I'd say that I was sorry, but I'm sure you already know
