Further From the Shore

It was another ordinary day It was a little windy but I got in the ocean anyway I wish that I had known what I got myself into Screaming helps the only thing that I could do I coulda lost my life Fear flooded my mind I meant to play it safe Jump the waves keep my hair dry A second later I could touch the ground no more The riptide knocked me down and dragged me further from the shore I was lucky to survive Didn't think that I would still be alive I have nightmares to this day But I know I'll be ok One of the lessons of life I know now there's no "ordinary days" I take one day at a time Nothing's standing in my way Now I know to kiss like it's the last time And hold you like I'm saying goodbye I coulda lost my life fear flooded my mind I meant to play it safe Jump the waves keep my hair dry A second later I could touch the ground no more The riptide knocked me down and dragged me further from the shore I was lucky to survive Didn't think that I would still be alive I have nightmares to this day But I know I'll be ok One of the lessons of life Keep my eyes on a fixed point of land I can't let fantasy sweep me halfway out to sea Don't forget to the breath Honestly I was lucky to survive Didn't think that I would still be alive I have nightmares to this day But I know I'll be ok One of the lessons of life
