This is what I wanted   A chance for a better life than this  A life that I can't get if I'm stuck here on dry land  And when we're on the open sea  I'll take my secrets write them down for you to see  Tear them to shreds and then I'll throw them overboard  I'll watch my words fade into the tide  When the anchor drops for the last time I'll be free    And I know that I'll be miserable  When the hurricanes become unbearable  And when the lines get tangled up  And the nets are torn apart  Having turned into the wind  And the crashing waves they knock me from my feet  I hope you'll remember me  When this boy becomes a man    If I never make it home  Just know I didn't die alone    Pretending this is all I want to say  Even if I'm turned into the wind  Pretending this is all I want to say as you cry this is good bye  Pretending this is all i want to say  Even though i've turned into the wind  Pretending this is all i want to say  It's not all i want to say  It's not all i want to say  That's all there is to say...    Pretending this is all I want to say  Even if I'm turned into the wind  Pretending this is all I want to say as you cry this is good bye  Pretending this is all i want to say  Even though i've turned into the wind  Pretending this is all i want to say as you cry this is
