If my anchor lifts tonight, I'm gone for good
So you best make up your mind, if it should
Oh, but if you think I don't care enough
Then I wouldn't be writing this down
No, I'd already be gone by now, wouldn't I?If your sail should lift tonight, I'd never sleep
Though I know the sea, your life is why breathe
Oh, and I could never be the girl
Who took you away from your dreams
No, I couldn't live with that grief, could I?
So this choice is yours
It's me or that open door
Whole new world to explore
Or someone who truly adores youI could never chose completely
Oh, this sea is calling to me
Still your love all but consumes me
I will not be whole for all my days
So I know what choice I must make
As my anchor lifts tonight, I stand and wait
My whole crew salutes in line, and I watch them fade
Oh, but if I never chose to stay
Then I wouldn't be hearing your voice
And I wouldn't be seeing your face
And I wouldn't be holding you close
I just couldn't live without all those things, could I?
