I stand with a blank expression now
And I can't believe myself
Would someone tell me how
Did I get here
I am walking
Changing slowly
I am chasing
Climbing closer
I know that I'll never be alone
You will never let me go
You are my anchor
Hold my hand while I'm sinking in the sand
No one else could understand
You are my anchor
It seems that I lost track of time
And I can't believe my mind
Would you save me if
I reached out to you
I am waiting
Watching, standing
I am reaching
Climbing closer
I know that I'll never be alone
You will never let me go
You are my anchor
Hold my hand while I'm sinking in the sand
No one else could understand
You are my anchor
Anchor yeah
Can you hear me, hear me
Can you hear me
