John Mayer - Taking On Water lyrics

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 a day I set off on a 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 did behind my back and settled down Used to square up with the land used to size it in my hand But it fell behind the line that meets to sky Once upon a day I set off on a 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 Inside this storm Whipping in the wind, my sail is torn In other words, the ends I made are not my own Hard to see I won't always be alone I'm a sailboat I am slowly floating nowhere Hoping someday I'll wash up on someone else's shore
