You couldn't count the grains of sand
No one could ever have the time
It's been so long since you've seen land
Can't even see it in your mind
Sailing the ocean, I always stay looking for you
And when you surface, I know what to do
Even when you're washed up on the lowest tide
You never ask for help even when it's time
If you're washed up on a lonely night
I'll be the first one there until you say you're alright
Sometimes the seas can be unfair
They've never been known for being kind
We gotta power through into these typhoons
If we ever wanna see the sun
Shine on the ocean, I always stay looking for you (oh)
And when you surface, I know what to do
Even when you're washed up on the lowest tide
You never ask for help even when it's time
If you're washed up on a lonely night
I'll be the first one there until you say you're alright
And no matter where the current goes
And you can't see through the fog at all
I'll still hear you cursin' out to the sky
Why, why, why?
Even when you're washed up on the lowest tide
You never ask for help even when it's time
If you're washed up on a lonely night (on a lonely night)
I'll be the first one there until you say you're alright
Lowest tide
First one, when it's time
Washed up, lonely night
First one, say you're alright
Lowest tide
First one, when it's time
Washed up, lonely night
First one, say you're alright
