Lyrics
I left you for an island
And the desert of my mind
I left you
I left you behind
I'm struggling for shelter now
But I don't really mind
Cause I left you
I left you behind
But I still carry you
In my mind
Though I left you
I left you behind
Why do I carry you
In my mind
I wanted to leave you
When I left you behind
I left you behind
Now the sea seems so close
Just a stone's throw, almost
Stones fill up my pockets
Weigh me down
Weigh me down
Just a stone's throw too close
Salt and sink for your ghost
Your stones fill my pockets
Weigh me down
Weigh me down
Why don't you
A coward on an island
Too afraid to face the sea
Don't you know
Can't you tell it's me
Tried drowning in smoke signals
Mark the sand H-E-L-P
You don't know
You don't ever see
How I carried you
Till I can't breathe
And I'll never
I'll never be free
Oh I carry you
And you'll never leave
Though I left you
You never left me
And the sea seems so close
Just a stone's throw, almost
Stones fill up my pockets
Weigh me down
Weigh me down
Just a stone's throw too close
Salt and sink for your ghost
Your stones fill my pockets
Weigh me down
Weigh me down
Why don't you
Crawl under the sand
And leave the past
Above the ground?
Grit under my fingernails
Or comfort won't be found
I'm buried like a secret
Even you don't care to know
Every second worth it
If I'm finally alone
Still the sea seems so close
Just a stone's throw, almost
Stones fill up my pockets
Weigh me down
Weigh me down
Just a stone's throw too close
Salt and sink for your ghost
Your stones fill my pockets
Weigh me down
Weigh me down
Why don't you
