Darren Hayes Taken By The Sea lyrics

Love, lay me down, slay me with whispers
Reassure me that it's alright
I, I hit the deck, I hit rock bottom
But you saw me, then you caught me

Shining like a ray of hope
Swift like a turning sea, angel to comfort me
Cradling my head in your hands
I looked up at the sun and the fog cleared
I saw you

And I want you and that's so terrifying
And I want you to help put out the fire
'Cause I am an island, you are the ocean
And all of my sadness taken by the sea

Fall, I took a fall, I took it easy
On the surface I was perfect
But down, way down below
I started believing I deserved it, was I worthless?

Sinking like a rescue boat
Washing right over me, vessel is struggling

Waving both my hands in the air
Then the blindness of love
Then your arms all around me

And I want you and that's so terrifying
And I want you to help put out the fire
'Cause I am an island and you are the ocean
And all of my sadness taken by the sea

And I want so much to believe
That I won't disappear in the water
That I won't always be swimming against the tide

And I want you and that's so terrifying
And I want you to help put out the fire, oh
'Cause I am an island and you are the ocean
And all of my sadness taken by the sea, the sea

And I am an island, oh, but you are the ocean
All of my sadness taken by the sea
