I'm far from sober
And she's far from sane
When she takes my hand
And she pulls me away

She leads me down to the shoreline
She leads me down to the sea
She pulls me into the water
And then she whispers to me:

"Love, you know that I can make you stronger
Love, you know that I can make you brave
But there's one thing that you must remember:
That I am too far gone for you to save"

Sand through her fingers
The night slips away
She gave me her body
But never her name

I followed her to the shoreline
I'd follow her to the grave
Two sinking ships in the darkness
And we are much too close to break away

And I know that she will make me stronger
And I know that she will make me see
And I know that she will make me younger
But I don't know what more she'll do to me
And she said: "You know that I can make you stronger
Love, you know that I can make you brave
But there's one thing that you must remember:
That I am too far gone for you to save"
