Taking on water

These are the lyrics of an unreleased song from John Mayer "Taking on water". Sometimes we go and try something new and fantastic, but often we tend to drift and forget our purpose or reason. This song is exactly that and it just expresses that a little hope will go a long way we just need to trust those who love us and he who loves us to eventually bring us home.

On a sailboat I am,
Slowly floating nowhere,
Lost the memories of where I am and why.

Black ocean churning,
A million stars are burning,
Planetariums were right about the sky.

Once upon the day I set off on the journey,
Wishing on the wind take me far from home,
Now I'm on the waves,
And I'm taking on water, hard to see,
I won't always be alone.

There was a time when August sun was high and centered on me,
but it dipped behind my back and settled down.
Used to square up to the land, used to size it in my hand,
but it fell behind the line that meets the sky.

Once upon the day I pushed off on the journey,
Wishing on the wind to take me far from home,
Now I'm on the waves ,
And I'm taking on water, hard to see,
I won't always be alone.

Inside this storm whipping in the wind,
my sail is torn.
In other words, the ends are never not my own,
Hard to see I won't always be alone.

On a sailboat I am,
Slowly floating nowhere,
Hoping someday I wash up on someone elses shore...
