I’ve been confined and I’ve been reminded
Of everything that I don’t want to know
Instead of flying I’ve been trying so hard
To escape the things that I have outgrown
I made my way down to the west coast
I put my feet in the sand
Waved goodbye to the old ghosts
And hello to the man that I am
I was surprised when I realized
We’ve only got so much time
These old pictures, they don’t all fit here
Within my new frame of mind
I made my way down to the west coast
I put my feet in the sand
Waved goodbye to the old ghosts
And hello to the man that I am
Goodbye, goodbye. goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye. goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I made my way down to the west coast
I put my feet in the sand
I waved goodbye to the old ghosts
And hello to the man that I am
Hello to the man that I am
Hello to the man that I am

I held you tight, as if it would not last
The night – with no light – it wouldn’t seem to pass
My words, empty like my promises
I cursed you
I was trying to let you know, that I could never let you go
I just tried to hold you close, to feel your heart beat in my throat
Now it seems I’ve lost control, but from what I do not know
You go down, down, down, down, down
To the deep blue
I hoped that you would float, up to the surface
But you sunk like a stone, down through the ocean
Just like a knife, cutting through my soul
I lost my grip, and with it my control
I was trying to let you know, that I could never let you go
I just tried to hold you close, to feel your heart beat in my throat
Now it seems I’ve lost control, but from what I do not know
You go down, down, down, down, down
You go down, down, down, down, down
Go grab yourself a cigarette
And smoke it until that ash burns red
It comes back to you – we’ve gone full circle
And yes it’s true, I still yearn for you
And my hands are stained, from the blood of this slaughter
And you are gone in the depths of the water
I was trying to let you know, that I could never let you go
I just tried to hold you close, to feel your heart beat in my throat
Now it seems I’ve lost control, but from what I do not know
You go down, down, down, down, down
To the deep blue
To the deep blue

It happened late one night
I was walking circles
I couldn’t find myself a place to hide
There was rustling in the trees
There were eyes staring back at me
I recognized the broken soul inside
Goodbye for now, goodbye forever
I will never come this way again
Because I am lost forever with the wind
I wish I was a sailor
Then I would sail the oceans
I would find a place to call my own
I would separate myself
From all that I have done
I’d find a place to rest my tired bones
Goodbye for now, goodbye forever
I will never come this way again
Because I am lost forever with the wind
Don’t look to me
to love and to hide you
For what is it that I have to give
Oh now you’re begging and you’re pleading
Oh my heart is bleeding
I will never see you again
Goodbye for now, goodbye forever
I will never come this way again
But now you’re begging and you’re pleading
Oh my heart is bleeding
I will never see you again
Because I am lost forever
I am lost forever
Oh I am lost forever with the wind
With the wind
With the wind
With the wind

Don’t you realize my darling
That everyone you know is falling through
Even you
Tell me once again your secrets
I promise that I will keep them safe this time
At the edge of my mind
When it’s cold outside,
And you’ve got no place to hide
When you’re wandering
And you're hoping that you won’t find the bitter end
Just walk in silence, don’t invite the fall
When you pray the Lord’s forgiveness
Do you ever stop to think that no one’s listening
Oh but you must
There’s Jesus in the Holy Scriptures,
Read the book and get the picture
That he’s got no time for us
When it’s cold outside
And you’ve got no place to hide
When you’re wandering
And you’re hoping that you won’t find the bitter end
Just follow silence, don’t invite the fall
As you wander in search of something
Hoping that it will stem from nothing much
Is that lust?
The silence spawns in all directions
Close your eyes – it’s true perfection
The darkness encircles us
When it’s cold outside
And you’ve got no place to hide
When you’re wandering
And you’re hoping that you won’t find the bitter end
I will catch you if you choose to fall
