There's a tree out in the yard And our names, they are carved In the branches, and forever they'll remain At least that's what we thought When we were young and we would dream Though it seems that some things must meet an end And I feel lost, I feel old, today This ball and chain drags me down To the bottom of the sea But I won't let time catch up with me. When lightning strikes the ground And that tree comes crashing down Will the sound erase "you + me?" So at the slightest chance of rain They might be circling the drain But forget that ball and chain, I'll be the sea. I'll be the ocean, and the storm, for you. You are the captain, and the crew And I will get you home. And we'll know we don't have to be alone. We'll know we don't have to be alone.
