400 miles

Heading for open waters
Swimming through hard waves of pain
But it makes no sense at all
Cause I’m feeling so ashamed
Please forgive me
The shores were too far away
But I would stay here for you
If you still think that’s ok
Because my heart is skipping beats
And has been spread out over seas
He has to know what he needs to see
What I can think or what I could be
Maybe I’ll leave just for today
And give it another try
But as I try to swim
My vows stay left to dry
I can’t drag them into the water
But I promise that I’ve tried
So don’t let me sink, don’t let me drown
Though there’s a distance
Of 400 miles.
