You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Cl... - Mayday Parade

[00:01.42]And honestly
[00:03.21]I have been begging for answers
[00:07.55]That you and only you can give to me
[00:11.35]A voice crying loud
[00:13.77]I've been crying for days now
[00:17.65]And as I start to run
[00:19.62]I stop to breathe
[00:20.57](And I was nearly scared to death)
[00:22.87]And I was nearly scared to death
[00:25.45](Why you left in paragraphs)
[00:28.00]Why you left in paragraphs
[00:30.49](The words were nearly over us)
[00:32.98]The words were nearly over us
[00:35.44]You stop and turn and grab your bags
[00:39.75]
[00:39.82]And I'll be here by the ocean
[00:42.43]Just waiting for proof
[00:45.07]That there's sunsets
[00:47.06]And silhouette dreams
[00:50.01]All my sand castles fall
[00:52.61]Like the ashes of cigarettes
[00:55.84]And every waves drags me to sea
[01:00.20]I could stand here for hours
[01:02.87]Just to ask God the question
[01:05.51]"Is everyone here make-believe "
[01:10.23]With a tear in His voice He said
[01:13.55]"Son that's the question "
[01:15.53]Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me
[01:24.41]
[01:32.47]As hours move to minutes
[01:37.55]And minutes take longer to break
[01:40.68]I will be desperately awaiting
[01:43.47]But my tongue won't fall apart
[01:45.90]And we've been sitting here for hours
[01:48.48]All alone and in the dark
[01:52.61]So let me think of how to word it
[01:57.14]Is it too soon to say 'perfect'
[02:02.28]If I could find
[02:03.58]Another thirty minutes somewhere
[02:06.21]I'm sure everything would find me
[02:08.79]All that's left is just to sing
[02:11.06]
[02:11.31]And I'll be here by the ocean
[02:13.80]Just waiting for proof
[02:16.35]That there's sunsets
[02:18.22]And silhouette dreams
[02:21.19]All my sand castles fall
[02:23.77]Like the ashes of cigarettes
[02:27.16]And every waves drags me to sea
[02:30.68]
[02:31.41]I could stand here for hours
[02:33.99]Just to ask God the question
[02:36.67]"Is everyone here make-believe "
[02:41.40]With a tear in His voice He said
[02:44.71]"Son that's the question "
[02:46.67]Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me
[02:51.84]You'll sink till you swim
[02:56.78]I may never sail Virginia again
[03:01.79]And as this current moves slow for me
[03:05.10]This much you must know of me again
[03:09.42]And I'll have you know I'm scared to death
[03:13.22]Tell me once again
[03:17.33]That you'll love me to the death
[03:19.42]And should I die you swear
[03:20.91]That you will come for me
[03:23.89]As I fade away
[03:27.89]You reach out your hand
[03:33.09]
[03:33.21](And please don't let me go)
[03:37.95]And please don't let me go
[03:43.14](And please don't let me go)
[03:48.10]And please don't let me go
[03:52.76]
[03:52.91]And I'll be here by the ocean
[03:55.11]Just waiting for proof
[03:57.52]That there's sunsets
[03:59.55]And silhouette dreams
[04:02.71]All my sand castles fall
[04:05.08]Like the ashes of cigarettes
[04:08.42]And every waves drags me to sea
[04:12.74]I could stand here for hours
[04:15.72]Just to ask God the question
[04:17.88]"Is everyone here make-believe "
[04:22.94]With a tear in His voice He said
[04:26.19]"Son that's the question "
[04:28.13]Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me
