[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I know it's hard to reach you
I know it's hard to breathe
I know it's hard to be you sometimes
I can't imagine what that means
This must be someone else's story
I can't follow what you've planned
How could this be about me?
Am I supposed to understand?

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Like a ship on the ocean
Headed out to sea
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
You're still looking for redemption
Still can't find a trace
If there is nothing after
There'll be no saving grace
I'm giving you control now
I need some kind of sign
Come take away the sorrow now
I gave you all that's mine
[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Like a ship on the ocean
Headed out to sea
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Like a ship on the ocean
Headed out to sea
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me
