As We Stared Off Into The Black Sea Lyrics

Our plane dipped low into Vilnius

It's got its own shade of green

That somehow shined like emeralds every time it rained

We walked through castles and we drank

At a cottage by the most beautiful lake

Straight out of storybooks

And you looked in a haze

And I gave you my coat to keep you warm

Maybe it was not the weather

But the year that made you cold

And I know I went too far ahead of myself

But there were moments there that I thought you would love

And really I was too afraid

To feel alone in them

I told you let's untie the boat

Next to the dock across the bay

Row it to the house on the other side of the lake

We could have some kids there and teach them how to sing

And that'll be our lives, just you and me

As we stared off into the Black Sea

I was gazing at the brightness of the clouds

And you looked down in disarray

At the darkness of the deep

I had your name etched in my heart

And now I know that all you ever did

Was carve my name by the tide break in the sand

And all this time I just wanted you to feel warm

Wanted to see you happy

Really I just wanted hope

I wanted you back in this moment

To let you know that even in the scariest times

We could still be happy here

Let's untie the boat next to the dock across the bay

Row it to the house on the other side of the lake

We could have some kids there and teach them how to sing

And that'll be our lives, just you and me

And how silly those words were for me to say

Forgot we were around people

Shouldn't have been that naïve

I didn't know that you gave up

What's the use of patching everything I could

And feigning happiness to save nothing in the end

Let's untie the boat next to the dock across the bay

Row it to the house on the other side of the lake

We could've have kids there and taught them how to sing

That could have been our lives, just you and me

And other promises

I couldn't keep
