[Verse 1]
For hours sat all alone
On a boat, coming home from the trip
Yeah, a stranger came and spoke
Said I was once in a band with a dumb boy
And she pushed me into the water
My phone in the sea

When I looked into her eyes
And I felt surprise like I’ve never felt in all my life

There was no one else around

And I thought, when I rise, it’ll be so elegant
I know you know no one else, but it’s alright if you do

[Pre-Chorus]
I look down into the void
And I hear a voice like I’ve never heard in all my life
And I thought I’d die
Will I fall in her eyes?
For my life
For my life
[Outro]
Then it was quiet
And then it was so loud
There was no one else around
