[Verse 1]
When the waters rise
High above my head
You'll be the one
To put my soul to bed
Towers turn into deserts
When the cities fall
The salt burns my eyes
When I see this all
And when the sun rises
Line on the horizon
Memories of me underwater
You're hiding
And everyone, they say
"storms don't last forever"
But this November gale
Caused my cables to sever
[Pre-Chorus]
Cast your anchor
Hit the shore
Broken battered
Tides turning the chords
Pounding, broken
Battered down
Bottom of the lake
Your up-turned frown
Cast your anchor
Hit the shore
Broken battered
Turn the chords
Pounding, broken
Battered down
Bottom of the lake
Your up-turned frown
[Chorus]
Lost in a storm
We're taking on water
Sinking quickly
But I see you under
And you won't save me
When the oceans call
Cause you're a merman
After all
Lost in a storm
We're taking on water
Sinking quickly
But I see you under
And you won't save me
When the oceans call
Cause you're a merman
After all
You don't love me after all
You don't need me after all
You don't hear me cry at all
You don't want me at all
You don't need me after all
You don't love me after all
You don't want me after all
You don't hear me cry
At all
[Verse 2]
When the skies turn blue
High above my head
You'll be the one
Who wakes my dread
Towers turn into deserts
When the cities fall
The salt burns my eyes
When I see this all
And when the sun rises
Line on the horizon
Memories of me underwater
You're hiding
And everyone, they say
"storms don't last forever"
But this December snow
Seems to fall forever
[Pre-Chorus]
Cast your anchor
Hit the shore
Broken battered
Turn the chords
Pounding, broken
Battered down
Bottom of the lake
Your up-turned frown
Cast your anchor
Hit the shore
Broken battered
Turn the chords
Pounding, broken
Battered down
Bottom of the lake
Your up-turned frown
[Bridge]
You brought the storm
You brought the rain
And everything
Is dying again
Winter's wake
Come down with a cold
Jump into the lake
Don't let us get old
Brought the storm
You brought the rain
And everything
Is dying again
Winter's wake
Come down with a cold
Jump into the lake
Don't let us get old
[Chorus]
Lost in a storm
We're taking on water
Sinking quickly
But I see you under
And you won't save me
When the oceans call
Cause you're a merman
After all
Lost in a storm
We're taking on water
Sinking quickly
But I see you under
And you won't save me
When the oceans call
Cause you're a merman
After all
Lost in a storm
We're taking on water
Sinking quickly
But I see you under
And you won't save me
When the oceans call
Cause you're a merman
After all
Lost in a storm
We're taking on water
Sinking quickly
But I see you under
And you won't save me
When the oceans call
Cause you're a merman
After all
You don't love me after all
You don't want me after all
You don't need me cry at all
You don't hear me cry at all
You don't love me after all
You don't need me after all
You don't want me after all
You don't hear me cry
At all
(at all, at all, at all)
