On Your Shore

I dig my heels into the dirt 'cause this one's gonna hurt

Won't let the waves wash me away, is what I always pray

In my heart I know you couldn't see in the dark

Or find your way through me

Now I'm alone, my hands are numb, how do I carry on?And at the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die

Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?Now I'm held hostage in my head with every word you said

God, all those lessons in my past

I spit them out so fast I see myself

With you I act so small, see myself with you I always crawl

So someone leave a raft for me, the water's getting deepAt the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die

Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?Here I am in my insecurity

Here I am with my damaged dignity

Here I am, you're pulling me in too deep

Here I amHere I am, I'm in the mercy seat

Here I am, running without my feet

Here I am, oh, what's come over me

Here I amWhen I was melting in your hand, you didn't understand

You slip through me like grains of sand, you still don't understand

Overboard, I'm thrown out to see what you are and what I mean to me

But I will always have my dream where you can swim to meAt the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die

I've been on your shore before and it was no waste of time

Over my head and in my mind

Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?

Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
