[Verse 1]
I watch the seagulls
Fly in circles
Diving down

Take two steps forward
Into the water
I throw myself down

My arms propelling me into the tide
One stroke at a time
Struggling onwards
There's guilt on my side
Leave it behind

[Chorus]
Say "I'm sorry"
Out of my depth
But I can't come ashore

Till I say "I'm sorry"
I don't want to swim away
Anymore

Salt water burning and blinding me
The price of forgiveness: Naivety
[Verse 2]
Grey clouds come over
Rain follows thunder
Hammering down

Kicking still harder
Lands getting closer
Seas become sound

Out of the ocean and clear of the tide
Sleep away my pride
Won't be forgiven till we reconcile
Lower my eyes

[Chorus]
Say "I'm sorry"
Out of my depth
But I can't come ashore

Till I say "I'm sorry"
I don't want to swim away
Anymore

Salt water burning and blinding me
A symptom becoming the remedy
Begin once more
[Bridge]
If fear fuels my tears
Will it go when you know?

[Chorus]
Say "I'm sorry"
Nothing unspoken and
Nowhere to hide

When I say "I'm sorry"
I don't want to feel this way
Anymore

"I'm sorry."
Let me say "I'm sorry"
Begin once more
