I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react

And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly
Eyes that know me
And I can't go back
And wounds that take me
And erase me
And I'm painted black

Well you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly
Sing your melody
I'll sing it loud
Loud... I paid the cost too late
Now you're gone

How often do you find the right person?

ONCE...
