"Message In A Bottle" lyrics

Oh my love, I've been longing for you
It's been silent since I last saw you
I've been willing the tide toward you

In my soul I know that we're not through
I'll turn cold, I'll live by the sword too
Write your name, permanent like a tattoo

But I've been dreaming of you there
When the wind was in your hair
And you lingered on my skin like salt air
Was it as perfect as it seemed
Was it nothing but a dream
Til I left you on the beach
And for now I'll be

Calling you to me
Like a siren to the sea
Feels like an eternity
So hold me gently
Every day's the same
Ive been writing down your name
For forever and a day
And forever it'll stay
Like a message in a bottle in the waves

Oh my love, it's been dark without you
I was foolish to never doubt you
With no lighthouse I'll run aground soon
I was all in but you weren't, were you
Who am I to think I deserved you?
I'll trust no one, I'll burn like a tattoo

But I've been dreaming of you there
When the wind was in your hair
And you lingered on my skin like salt and
I guess the finest things are dreams
Like the one of you and me
Then you left me on the beach
And for now I'll be

Calling you to me
Like a siren to the sea
Feels like an eternity
So hold me gently
Every day's the same
I've been writing down your name
For forever and a day
And forever it'll stay
Like a message in a bottle in the waves

(Stay)
Calling you to me
Like a siren to the sea
Feels like an eternity
So hold me gently
(Stay)
Every day's the same
I've been writing down your name
For forever and a day
And forever it'll stay
Like a message in a bottle in the waves
