Land Lovers

If my anchor lifts tonight, I'm gone for good
So you best make up your mind on if it should
Oh, but if you think I don't care enough
Then I wouldn't be writing this down
No, I'd already be gone by now, wouldn't I?

If your sail should lift tonight, I'd never sleep
Though, I know the sea is your life, it's why you breathe
Oh, and I could never be that girl who took you away from your dreams
No, I couldn't live with that grief, could I?

So this choice is yours
It's me or that open door
A whole new world to explore
Or someone who truly adores you

I could never choose completely
Oh, the sea is calling to me
Still, your love all but consumes me
I would not be whole for all my days
And so I know what choice I must make

As my anchor lifts tonight, I stand and wave
My whole crew salute in line and I watch them fade
Oh, but if I never chose to stay, then I wouldn't be hearing your voice
And I wouldn't be seeing your face
And I wouldn't be holding you close
And I just couldn't live without all those things
Now, could I?
