"Understanding a Sailor's Grief"

Please stop pulling me down, you have some flaws of your own
feel free to go

I was out with myself again as the day began to fade
darker clouds were rolling in, I felt them raining on my face
I was hoping for a flood, for it to carry me away.
All I heard when I got home were the voices of a siren
I've got this yearning in my heart and a burning in my skin
could we ever start anew or find something to believe in?

Please don't pick me apart, you have bad habits of your own
we have no vows to keep, you're free to leave

I was lost in my thoughts again as the sun began to rise
morning birds were waking up, I heard them taking to the skies
I was thinking of the times and of the places with surprise.
I can't force myself to love, we've been pushing way too far
I've got a burning in my skin and this yearning in my heart
we need to find again, everything that made us at the start

Please don't deny such simple things, you have desires of your own
we have no rings to wear, no lie to swear
please don't flash me those eyes, you're not as clever as you think
we have no promise to hold, you're free to go
