Lyrics
This life is hard, the strongest hearts grow old
And love drifting apart, grows weary, tired,and cold
So do we go down with the ship or do we swim away
We're caught on the rocks either way
Choking on a metaphore, we've both made our love a chore
But there's still a chance left to save
Chorus
'Cause my love is stronger than all the water between you and me
And I know the wind blows farther than I can see
So wind blow my love back to me
Wind blow my love back to me
Ever since the start, you said we'd fall apart
Then change found it's mark, sending you to another's arms
So do we go down with the ship or do we swim away
We're caught on the rocks either way
You blew up the bridge that tied your heart to my own
Saying I would do well to move on
Chorus
