Lead Sails (And A Paper Anchor) Lyrics

Lead Sails (And A Paper Anchor) Song Lyrics

Marching along
Like a good soldier does
I’m setting sail
With anchors
Holding me down
Pack up my bags
Stow them away
I’m bidding farwell
To all that is safe

Will I come up for air?
Come up for air

[Chorus]
After a while the current is calling me
Lulling me waving goodbye
I’m out here alone, oh god can you save me now?
Sinking my heart turns to stone

Withering away
A shrinking violet dies
So full of life
These lights have dried me out
Into the sea
Needed a drink
I never thought
This would consume me whole

Will I come up for air?
Come up for air

[Chorus]

Save me. Take me home
(over and over again)
Save me. Take me home
(wishing that this all would end) [x2]

[Chorus x2]

Save me. Take me home
(will I come up for air?) [x2]

Save me. Take me home
(over and over again)
Save me. Take me home
(wishing that this all would end)
