A Calm Sea Never Made A Skillful Lad
This story is well-known, enough is enough!

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hoping and waiting, excusing, forgiving
That‘s how it works, not usual or is it?
Romance is dead, dead in your head
Chaos and hate, is all that is left

I tried my best to convince you
I’d give up everything, if only for your good, but
I know I’m underachieving, badly misleading now
Not taking care like I should … you gotta know

You are all I have, this is what I love
Just give me a chance to hold on
You are all I have, this is what I love
Just give me a chance to hold on

Listen mate, nobody’s trying to hurt ya
Offending or riling, or blaming or huffing or burn ya
You gotta keep a level head, trust me dude, with all I said, a calm sea
Never never never ever made a skillful lad

I wanna show my urge to get back on track
I will fight my inner demons and stand strong
Please have ^faith^ in me, I will ^surely^ be
Everything you’ve ever asked for

You are all I have, this is what I love
Just give me a chance to hold on
You are all I have, this is what I love
Just give me a chance to hold on

You are all I have, this is what I love
Just give me a chance to hold on
You are all I have, this is what I love
Just give me a chance to hold on

(don’t let us down, don’t let us down
We need you we need you, don’t let us down)

I’m not talking about a last chance
But you reached a point where it’s gotta stop
Sure we gonna make it
My friend
