How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure

Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
Of the things he's feeling

He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He'll just sail on

How can I be lost if I've got nowhere to go?
Searched for seas of gold, how come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost? In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

These days drift on inside a fog
It's thick and suffocating
This seeking life outside its hell, inside intoxicating
He's run aground like his life
Water much too shallow
Slipping fast, down with the ship
Fading in the shadows

Now a castaway
Blame all gone away
Blame gone away

How can I be lost if I've got nowhere to go?
Searched for seas of gold, how come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost? In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?

Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me
Why can't I forgive me?

Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure
How could he know this new dawn's light
Would change his life forever?

How can I be lost if I've got nowhere to go?
Searched for seas of gold, how come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost? In remembrance I relive
So how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?
