Lyrics:

Mate, you're looking pretty tired,
Is something in the back of your mind?
You're not looking fully concious, you could use
a little spit and shine.
You know what they say about dying, your life'll
flash before your eyes, and I know she was my life,
and my gut says not to let her pass by.

You can't let her go, man,
It's not mean't to be this hard.
Your love can only grow and,
You're sailing in oceans apart.
She's sinking to the bottom,
You jump out of your life raft.
You cradle her in your arms and,
You let the moon shine on her heart.

Stop being so annoying,
She doesn't need another bad charm.
Keep watching where you're going,
and maybe she'll hop back in your car.
Yes, I know it's kind of scary,
You're not religious, spiritual or a god.
But you know when something's fitting,
Because you never have to work that hard.

You put the candle in the wind and,
Now she cannot see the spark,
You can't just light another candle,
You gotta show her you can play the part.

And you know she's always glowing,
she fueled you and tought you how to love.
You're grinding through your nights, Yeah,
But for her eyes you would sleep under the ground.

And everytime you'd stare in,
at her coral blue, sky bound eyes,
There was always room for two and,
I trusted that would never be compromised.

You can't let her go, man,
It's not mean't to be this hard.
Your love can only grow and,
You're sailing in oceans apart.
She's sinking to the bottom,
You jump out of your life raft.
You cradle her in your arms and,
You let the moon shine on her heart.

Mate, you only had to listen,
And this wouldn't come as such a surprise,
You're stronger now and you can offer,
The trust she needs to mend back her life.

You know, sometime she'll get a boyfriend,
You'll wanna pry out your own eyes,
Because you love her, dream about her,
But remember she's got her own life.

I'm just writing to say "I'm here, man",
Sometimes love has a second chance.
I know she's going off to England,
When she gets back,
Welcome her with open arms.
