Because I've pounded on these notes a million times,
And the sound keeps escaping my grasp,
And you looked at me and told me that it was all right
Because it wasn't as if she would have heard it anyway.

Within the hours I never let it down,
I kept on and I beat louder,
But you held me down and kissed me slowly,
And you told me that it was going to be all right, soon.

For I waited hours until you called,
And I never cried longer,
As if it were clear as night and I looked passed the reasons,
Things felt to be neverending and I had hoped that you'd look at me,
And tell me that it was going to be all right.

When I screamed and I begged,
Those walks, those steps, those listenings
Deeply hidden I knew the truth,
Somewhere deep down in there I had convinced myself that everything would be all right.

And then she picked up my head,
And you looked me in the eyes and told me that it was going to be all right,
And you promised it was really you,
And she sang me to sleep, "lets board the ship, baby, and lets set sail for everlasting fate."
