You Versus The Sea

Yes I swear bravery and strength go with her name, ooh
And she said all she had was the cross around her neck to keep her warm, ooh
I still remember how you tried to hold these walls through perfect storms
Ohh, you lost so many homes
You said hold on everything will be okay
Ive been confused, why cant we just run away?
Was it hope that kept you alive through the years and
Should I even call it living?
Ive been dreaming that I found you staying in the sea
Then you told me thats where youve been
You said the waters cold but still warmer than your skin
I tried to help you but the closer I got, the further you are to me...away
Was it hope that kept you alive through the years and
Should I even call it living?
