Dedicated to Thomas
I was wonderstruck, unaware when the thunderstruck
Silly little girl fell for the boy who cried love
You only want me because I’m here waiting
Resting from testing the waters with girls more exciting
My eyes were wide shut ignoring your need to grow-up
I swear that I’ve had enough, but I can’t give up
You used to shine like fire but now darker than a scary tale
All your words filling up your hollow shell
Oh Thomas, you’ve anchored your ways
We’ve abandoned ship on this silent sea
A fading love sailing away with the ocean waves
Oh Thomas, we couldn’t stay afloat
With efforts drowning in our throats
I’ll reach the shore, one day, I’m almost sure
I’ll reach the shore, one day, I’m almost sure
I’m almost sure
I’m your guiltless basilisk, adored you till I was sick
Silly little girl was a sucker for charmers
You’re a wild thing I thought I could tame
An immature rebel going sweet in and out of days
Through my dreams I see a frolicking beast
Romancing every girl as if love were a feast
You used to warm my heart but now colder than a winter’s breeze
Coming and going anytime you please
Oh Thomas, you’ve anchored your ways
We’ve abandoned ship on this silent sea
A fading love sailing away with the ocean waves
Oh Thomas, you have me deep
Have me thinking of you before I sleep
Oh Thomas, we couldn’t stay afloat,
With efforts drowning in our throats
I’ll reach the shore, one day, I’m almost sure
I’m almost sure
With you all I did was believe
So headfirst I took a dive
Never thinking I’d need to revive
Over Thomas who made me feel so alive
I was a naïve young woman waiting for a boy
Who took the hopes of her heart and played coy
So I jumped ship before it was me that you would destroy
Now I look at the night sky lost in the sea and think
Oh Thomas, you’re breaking my heart
Oh Thomas, I’m falling apart
Oh Thomas, I don’t know who you are
Oh Thomas, I loved you from the start
Oh Thomas, you were my star
Maybe that star will guide me back to the shore one day
I’m almost sure, I’m almost sure
Oh Thomas, you’ve anchored your ways
So I’ve gone sailing for better days
A withered love sunk down to the bottom of the big blue sea
Oh Thomas, I sent you a four-page message in a bottle
Took too long to respond, ended my one-way battle
Oh Thomas, we couldn’t stay afloat
With efforts drowning in our throats
When I reach the shore I’ll be gone
Once you see I’m the one
I’ll reach the shore, one day, I’m almost sure
I’ll reach the shore, one day, I’m almost sure
I’m almost sure.
