[Verse 1: Emery Kelly]
I know that I never got to tell you
Everything that you deserve to hear
Trapped inside a picture frame
Am I just another name
Hanging onto you, do you hear?
Got a million miles worth of sorries
Never took the chance to say goodbye
Reaching out across the blue
To put myself right back to you
Stuck here drawing maps across the sky
[Pre-Chorus: Ricky Garcia]
Hold on
Hold on for dear life
One last time
[Chorus: All]
Hit by the waves
Caught in a shipwreck
Oh, I'm breaking for you
I may be lost
But my heart's the compass
Oh, it points back to you
Oh—
It points back to you
Oh—
It points back to you
[Verse 3: Liam Attridge]
I never should've taken you for granted
But "should've", "would've", "could've" never helps
I miss you being next to me
A victim of reality
Knowing that you might have someone else
We were always thinking 'bout tomorrow
But now I'm feeling stuck in yesterday
The comfort that we left behind
Is something that we lost in time
And now I'm gonna find another way
[Pre-Chorus: Ricky Garcia]
To hold on
Hold on for dear life
One last try
[Chorus: All]
Hit by the waves
Caught in a shipwreck
Oh, I'm breaking for you
I may be lost
But my heart's the compass
Oh, it points back to you
Oh—
It points back to you
Oh—
It points back to you
[Bridge: Ricky Garcia]
I know that we tried
But somehow we fell from the sky
I just hope that time
Can breath our old wings back to life
[Final Chorus: All & Liam Attridge & Emery Kelly]
Hit by the waves
Caught in a shipwreck
Oh, I'm breaking for you
Hit by the waves
Caught in a shipwreck
Oh, I'm breaking for you (I'm breaking for you)
I may be lost (I may be lost)
But my heart's the compass
Oh, it points back to you
Oh—
It points back to you (it points back to you)
Oh—
It points back to you
