Joshua Radin Song For You
The waves crash over me again
And again
There's a storm approaching land
And I'm so far out in the undertow
Blindly praying for the sand
I built a boat that caused my sinking
Nothing to blame but my own hands
The final lifeboat has been taken
And I find I'm playing with the band
This song for you (x2)
When we first met I held a hammer in my hands
A box of nails I used before
Turns out the woodshed now is empty
I didn't know the job in store
I thought the plans I drew were carefully drawn
But alas, I'm just a fool
And now I'm drowning in my sorrow
Like when a builder blames his tools
And sings his song for you
Singing his song for you
"Find what you love and let it kill you"
But I have always been unsure
If this was spoken by a mad man
Or by a doctor with a cure
So as I am fighting with the ocean
Too soon to tell if I'll survive
Will I meet you underwater?
Will we be swallowed by the tide?
And drown in this song
Drown in this song for you
