I watch your attempts of leaving
As you meander outside my coast
But I've got what you need for heaving
The anchor and burn our boats
Ironically I've got the sail
You need to get off my shore
This canvas of self-betrayal
Will take you away forevermore
I hope against hope, all the way
I avoid the misericord
I pray that you, at the end of the day
Will invite me onboard
On the one hand I want you to come to me
To be near you one last day
On the other it's painful the closer you'll be
To hoist sails and go far away
The tighter the rope, the looser the knot
Inescapable, but what though
The bait that dispels you is all that I've got
I'm the reason that you go
I hope against hope, all the way
I avoid the misericord
I pray that you, at the end of the day
Will invite me onboard
I hope against hope, all the way
I avoid the misericord
I pray that you, at the end of the day
Will invite me onboard
I hope against hope, all the way
I avoid the misericord
I pray that you, at the end of the day
Will invite me
Invite me
You will invite me on board
