lyrics

anchored boat

dark dusty shores
catching a glimmer on the peaks
and the water seems to break and breach
and break and breathe
out from a windowsill in north tennessee
sometimes this house feels too small for us to breathe
i guess we'll have to leave it
i guess this roads been hit
i guess we'll have to leave it

she said darling
wont you please release me
from these chains im feelin round my throat
it aint worth living on an anchored boat
lifes worth giving it another go
one fall too many and how youre free

this road is long
and im feeling like the waters gettin high
so tell me baby
whats the use of pleading now?
our sorry tale
is just another cross to bear
a stain of ink thats left to dry
on pages torn from a book with a broken spine
and i know you mean well
but sometimes you gotta let go

now the storm has hit
i guess that we'd better duck low
i'd have said this all before
if i thought we'd survive the undertow
sometimes youve gotta jump
and just trust that the tide is true
brace for the cold to hit
and know that someday soon
youll swim better than this
