lyrics

I have such envy for the stranger lying next to me
Who awakes in the night and slips out into the predawn light
With no words: a clean escape, no promises or messes made
And chocks it all up to a mistake

Cause there are no tears just pity and fear
And a vast ravine right in between

A storm at sea
The bow cracked and I was capsizing
And I sunk below where u swore I would never go
'cause when you can't stand in place you can't tell who's walking away
from who remains

Cause there are no tears just pity and fear and a vast ravine right on
between
And there are no tears just pity and fear
And I recall the push more than the fall
