Intertwined Mishaps

I try so hard to let it slip away
Through my fingers and to live another day
But my grip is just too damn tight
I’m afraid of bringing down this ship
And if I have to go down with it

‘Cause all I can see is the sea tonight
And the sky is black and my soul is weak
Trembling nerves until I can’t speak
Say goodbye to the pearls on our skin
And wonder where the horizon begins

Because we can’t breathe at the same time
The air you breathe will never be mine
So don’t let me fall from the sky
Don’t catch the stars just let them die
