[Verse 1: Anthony West & Josephine Vander Gucht]
Beyond the oceansize, I'm unaware
Locked out the other side
Like I was never there
Like I was never there
They said the boat had sailed
I'd left them bare
Oh how the wind would wail
Like I was never there
Like I was never there
[Chorus: Anthony West & Josephine Vander Gucht]
Oh my friends
I am heavy
Can I beat within your heart?
Can I bleed within your love?
Oh my friends
[Verse 2: Anthony West & Josephine Vander Gucht]
Beyond the oceansize, I'm unaware
Locked out the other side
Like I was never there
Like I was never there
I lost my only space
To empty stares
Oh how the light would change
Like I was never there
Like I was never there
[Chorus: Anthony West & Josephine Vander Gucht]
Oh my friends
I am heavy
Can I beat within your heart?
Can I bleed within your love?
Oh my friends
And oh my friends
I am ready
Can I beat within your heart?
Can I bleed within your love?
Oh my friends
[Bridge: Anthony West & Josephine Vander Gucht]
And I can’t forget it
All of the love
All of the love
As we stood tall together
All of the love
All of the love
And I can’t forget it
All of the love
All of the love
As we stood tall together
All of the love
All of the love
And I can’t forget it
All of the love
All of the love
As we stood tall together
All of the love
All of the love
And I can’t forget it
All of the love
All of the love
As we stood tall together
All of the love
[Chorus: Anthony West & Josephine Vander Gucht]
And oh my friends
I am heavy
Can I beat within your heart?
Can I bleed within your love?
Oh my friends
And oh my friends
I am ready
Can I beat within your heart?
Can I bleed within your love?
Oh my friends
