We watched the sea turn away from the shore and head back out the way that it came

If you are chasing your love, you don't want it enough and it's best just to walk away
Am F
Tell yourself your pride is just the same
C G Am
Trying not to count the days 'til mine gets washed away
F C G
Carry your head up along the way
Am F C G Am
And you'll say you lack the courage and the guts of a hero even when they're on your side

Let's watch the middle fade away 'til it's all gone

I don't wanna move cause it's just enough

I don't wanna blink cause I might miss it
