All I've got is this pen and these words locked inside my head   And if I could open the gates and let them    Flood on this paper   These ideas and letters   Then maybe, maybe    The world will know exactly how I feel      And I'll swim, I'll swim   Across this wreckage to write you a message   In the midst of these metaphors and similes that surround me   And I know I'll find the shoreline soon   But in the meantime I'll try to write this song for you      So listen up   I've got so much to say   Will anybody listen, listen?   Words and phrases   Poorly strung together but I'll sing them forever   Though they seem so jaded   I'll still pray it gets to you      And like a sailor   I'll try to find you   And like your hero   I''ll try to save you   I'll search for you   I'll swim to the bottom of this ocean   Yause you're my inspiration   You've set this pen to motion   And now it's flowing   Back and forth to write your name      I'll swim across this ocean   Just to see you smile   I'll swim across this sea   Just to stay for a while   I'll swim across this danger   Just to kiss your lips   I'll swim across   Just to see you      I'll swim across to see you   (Hold on hold on I'm coming I'm coming)   I'll swim across to see you   (Hold on hold I'll see you soon)
