And honestly, I have been begging for answers 
That you and only you can give to me 
A voice crying loud 
I've been crying for days now 
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe 
(And I was nearly scared to death) 
And I was nearly scared to death 
(Why you left in paragraphs) 
Why you left in paragraphs 
(The words were nearly over us) 
The words were nearly over us 
You stop and turn and grab your bags 

And I'll be here by the ocean 
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams 
All my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes 
And every waves drags me to sea 
I could stand here for hours 
Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?" 
With a tear in His voice, He said, "Son, that's the question." 
Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me? 

As hours move to minutes 
And minutes take longer to break 
I will be desperately awaiting 
But my tongue won't fall apart 
And we've been sitting here for hours 
All alone and in the dark 

So let me think of to word it 
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'? 
If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere 
I'm sure everything would find me 
All that's left is just to sing 

And I'll be here by the ocean 
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams 
All my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes 
And every waves drags me to sea 
I could stand here for hours 
Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?" 
With a tear in His voice, He said, "Son, that's the question." 
Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me? 

*And you'll sing to me sweet until then, 
*I may never sail Virginia again 
*Alas this current moves slow for me, this much you must know...we'll meet again 
And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death 

Tell me once again that you will love me till the death 
And should I die, you swear that you will come for me 
As I fade away, you reach out your arms 
(And please don't let me go) 
And please don't let me go 
(And please don't let me go) 
And please don't let me go 

And I'll be here by the ocean 
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams 
All my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes 
And every waves drags me to sea 
I could stand here for hours 
Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?" 
With a tear in His voice, He said, "Son, that's the question." 
Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?
