lyrics

I was out on the ocean
Drifting with the waves of life
In my ship of confidence
I had everything I needed
Never knew what was coming next
Always open to new things
But suddenly, clouds piled up
And first raindrops were coming down

The unexpected storm blew me away
Wrecked my ship and threw me into cold water
I stranded on a lonely island
Build a boat to leave it soon
Then I found some coconuts
Liked the palm trees and the sand
And decided that I could also
Stay here - for a little time

Then some day I noticed
How long I had lived here now
It had become convenient
I had everything I needed
Always knew how the next day would be
No new things around here
But suddenly, doubts piled up
And first ideas were coming down

I thought that they would surely seek me
So I drove my boat onto the sea
But when the island became smaller
I was afraid and turned around
To regain my safe place
Where everything was fine
I played with the thought to destroy the boat
So I would never leave again

And now I'm sitting here
With a vacant stare on my face
My eyes upon the horizon
Blank thoughts pass me by
I won't escape from here
That's for sure and sealed
But maybe I see your sails someday
Approaching in the rising sun

Get me out of here
