We must be a thousand miles out on the sea
I'm just floating on my self-fulfilling prophecies
I am drifting
Out of control
I am drifting 
Where do we go?
Where do we go from here? 

We have an ocean full of futures in our melody
I would tell you not to worry, we'll just wait and see
We are drifting
Out of control
Is there a place where
I can go
A point of no return

And you said 
Look beyond the sunset
Sail behind those straight lines
Seek the truth and you'll find, darling
I laughed underneath the dark sky
As every moment drifted by our eyes
I whispered:

I will never lose my ocean calm

Ocean Calm

As it all moved in I forgot the fires
We sped along the coast.
And every other thing was the one that mattered
But you know you mattered most 

And I wish that I was there in a single moment
Cause I always tend to drift
And when we try to open our hearts, I'm helpless
I'm losing all my wit

It's a simple thing

Remember when we tried to find a lighthouse
Within a sea of mist
Searched across the beaches to see if we could
Find something that was missed

And later on that day I had to tell you
But I couldn't find the words
Between the lines there's always someone singing
I'm free as a bird

It's a simple thing

When the sea began to drown the daylight
We shivered in the cold
There are things that we will never realize
secrets that show

That everything we know is like a curtain
Beyond we don't see with our sight
Then I looked at you and I knew for certain
'We'll be alright'

Simple Thing

I hope you'll never lose your wonder
May you keep it in your heart
I'm alright but wish it would be warmer
We're waiting for the spring to start

I thought I'd write you a card
Because I know that that's
The sort of thing you always do
This one's for you

Do you miss the looks on all the faces
Or the sound of a guitar
Can you hear the people or the places
Do they call you from afar

I hope that you gave your trust
To somebody who can carry all this colour in your mind
And all the darker sides

Do you still tell stories of the weather
Or the little things that pass
Some ideas just stick around forever
Some were never meant to last

You made a map of the stars
With the conviction that the sky would change if you just made a mark
It's just a spark

Promise me that you will leave a light on
It doesn't matter where you are
Everything may fall from the horizon
Don't you ever lose your star

Star

As it all moved in I forgot the fires
We sped along the coast.
And every other thing was the one that mattered
But you know you mattered most

And I wish that I was there in a single moment
Cause I always tend to drift
And when we try to open our hearts, I'm helpless
I'm losing all my wit

It's a simple thing

Remember when we tried to find a lighthouse
Within a sea of mist
Searched across the beaches to see if we could
Find something that was missed

And later on that day I had to tell you
But I couldn't find the words
Between the lines there's always someone singing
I'm free as a bird

It's a simple thing

When the sea began to drown the daylight
We shivered in the cold
There are things that we will never realize
secrets that show

That everything we know is like a curtain
Beyond we don't see with our sight
Then I looked at you and I knew for certain
'We'll be alright'

I still hear the words you said
be bold, be bold and don't relent
until you find what you're looking for
and though the winds might kill the flame
and it might never burn again
still I'd risk it all for you
