| Hands across the water
|
| Has it really been 6 years
|
| Standing on the edge of this pier?
|
| With my face gone shiny and wet with slick tears
|
| Wishing I could tell you, you’ve been missed here
|
| I let my ship steer into dark waters
|
| And had to say a few «Our Father"s
|
| In hopes that he exists and it fits into the script that god authors
|
| I wished on 'em and considered what the stars taught us
|
| We’re all just specks in the grand scheme
|
| No matter how far apart these 2 stretches of land seem
|
| So our connection just can’t be
|
| Severed by any measure of time and pressure the sand’s seen
|
| The bad dreams that used to keep me awake
|
| Became the last place that we could still speak face to face
|
| The very same dreams I wanted desperately to escape
|
| Now I’d do anything to make 'em last eager to stay. |
| I reach my…
|
| Hands across the water
|
| Hands across the water
|
| I’d send a message in a bottle through the sea
|
| If I thought that it would bobble through the fog into your reach

|
| And so many things I thought that you would see
|
| I’m getting married now, who’d believe?
|
| To that same pretty, scrappy gal I was so excited for you to meet
|
| I never got rich and famous but the man that I became
|
| Would make you and daddy proud if only you could see
|
| I do believe in love. |
| I know there’s something greater
|
| I wanna be a father. |
| Send my hopes to Mother Nature
|
| I miss you more than I could scribble with this pen
|
| And I know that this’ll end, but I know you hope it’s coming later
|
| You were my best friend and my biggest fan
|
| My sweet guide waiting in the sand at the seaside
|
| I know we’ll meet again when I’m crossing over these tides
|
| But in the meantime, I just reach my…
