There is a sound just like an island being born
You can hear the ocean parting like a curtain being torn
Iâve seen the people watching for the first sign of the dawn
But you know that you believe us âcause their prayinâ
There was a time when we felt nothing could be wrong
When the river wasnât flooding and the current wasnât strong
Like the way we measure motions like the rhythm of a song
And the thoughts inside your head are things worth saying
If you could only steal a moment from your life
Would you go out like a comet in the end?
And I am only wishing memories would survive
And wishing isnât something I should spend
My time on
There was a place where I was never on my own
And the ocean just reminds me of the people I have known
The secrets that I kept were just the love that I have shown
But loving isnât something that comes easy
You know you cannot fall, but still you wish to stay
And youâre holding on to something that will save you from the day
Itâs just an echo of the things you try to say
Saying them was almost like believing
If I could only steal a moment from your life
Would you tell the truth or would you just pretend
Or am I only wishing memories would survive
When wishing isnât something I should spend
My time on
