lyrics

I held you in my arms just a second or two
Just to say hello, it was all that I could do
A man stranded on an island without a drop to drink
Learns to live without water, so what is he to think
When the rain comes falling down, doesn't want to get wet
Better to stay dry, better to forget
So can't you let me go, leave without a sound
Turn and walk away, 'cause I don't wanna drown
Surrounded by salt water, I've learned to like the taste
And I know that you could quench me
But a drop is just a waste
Leathered by the brine, no longer taste the sweet
Better not to be reminded, better not to meet
So can't you let me go, leave without a sound
Turn and walk away, 'cause I don't wanna drown
I was starting to forget the cool liquid feel
Starting to question if it was ever real
Then you took me by the hand, led me to the well
I stood on the edge and I almost fell
So can't you let me go, leave without a sound
Turn and walk away, 'cause I don't wanna drown
