Water’s Edge

She waits by the water's edge
She dreams of a simpler time
She waits by the water’s edge
She dreams of a simpler time

I couldn't walk
I couldn't walk away
I couldn’t give
I couldn't give it up
She waits
For an explanation
She needs
A reason why
I couldn't speak
I couldn't give an answer
I couldn't speak
A word at all

If I seem a little scattered to you
It's just because I haven't learned my lesson well
If I seem a little scattered to you
It's just because I haven’t really let it go

She waits for a sign of life
She searches for a little spark
She waits for a sign of life
She searches for a little spark

I am a candle
In a vacuum
My face is stone
My lips are frozen
I am a candle
In a vacuum
My face is stone
My lips are frozen

If I seem a little scattered to you
It’s just because I haven't learned my lesson well
If I seem a little scattered to you
It’s just because I haven't really let it go
