Swallowed in the Sea

You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me
And that's what made me see where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf and kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself, you can only blame me

And I could write a song a hundred miles long
Well that's where I belong, and you belong with me
And I could write it down or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found, or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line and hung me out to dry
And darling, that's when I decided to see
You cut me down in size and opened up my eyes
You made me realize, what I could not see

And I could write a book, one they'll say that shook
The world and then it took, it took it back from me
And I could write it down or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found, and you'll come back to me
Not swallowed by the sea
Ooh, ah
Ooh

And I could write a song a hundred miles long
Well that's where I belong, and you belong with me
The streets you're walking on, a thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong, and you belong with me

What good is it to live, with nothing left to give?
Forget but not forgive, not loving all you see
The streets you're walking on, a thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong, and you belong with me
Not swallowed by the sea

You belong with me, not swallowed by the sea
