on a shore alone and cold
i wait for you still and hope
for a ship come sailing in
any sight of your signal
want to be someone you need
a soul worth searching for
there is no one in this whole wide world
who is left wanting you more
i want to know that you are better than before

in the sand, i sit here waiting for a message to come to shore

i want to know  that you are better than before
in the sand, i sit here waiting for a message to come to shore
why'd i leave so far from home
why try to let you go
all the misery i have ever felt
could be numbed by a different soul
long to be the strength you need
not the manic one before
but still too weak in my desperate times
as the trainwreck at your door

i want to know  that you are better than before

in the sand, i sit here waiting for a message to come to shore
i want to know  that you are better than before

i'm off the map, i'm off the map

the sand, i sit here waiting forin
