With Sails Ahead - Beesly Lyrics

Oh how it feels to be the one you need
The salvation to all your fears
I hoped I'd find a soul to keep, but was never sure

Feel like a god when you look at me
Lift you up when you feel weak
I hold your world in my hands, shaking my bones

But I'm still crooked and I'm bent
Despite my good intent
I shout until my lungs deflate
Feel you pull away
I knew it'd be this hard
To keep you where you are
Now we're pedaling backwards

We never choose to feel the way we feel
Circumstances lead us here
We only want to find ourselves in another's arms

We always want for things to go our way
It's not black and white, it's shades of gray
Did you believe me when I said that I need a clean slate?
Committed acts i'd never do
For a chance at winning you
Took a cheap shot in a second
Felt rotten for a million more
Went back on words I preached
We walked on glass for weeks
Woke with remorse and grief
Wish we didn't have to suffer
No one else would take this pain
But if i went back, I'd choose the same
Shed my old life, I wanna be new again
I wanna be new again

The fear of losing you is haunting me
Foolish pride has lead us here
I fear the day you find yourself, in another's arms

My body trembles when you leave
Before I met you I was asleep
My body trembles when you leave
You're not promised to me, why should you be?

The fear of losing you is haunting me
Foolish pride has lead us here
I fear the day you find yourself, in another's arms
The weight of losing you is crushing me
Time could harm or it could heal
I always let my temper speak, but it doesn't speak for me

Words can't fix what selfish tears
Hands can't handle what they break
When the colors turn red I fear I won't see you again
I look to tomorrow for the white morning sun
And when the morning wakes our eyes and your gaze meets mine
And though we feel unsure of where we are, we both know
You brush the hurt from my eyes and say, "we're going home"

(Ooh)
