Salvation Lyrics

I've been looking for salvation,
I've been searching low and high.
I'm tired of being patient;
All this waiting's been a waste of time.
And it's no wonder how we got here;
In many ways, I wrote this script
By loading all our treasures
Into the belly of a sinking ship.

I tried to hold you but my hands were cold;
I meant to catch you but I moved too slow.
I hate to leave, but it's time to go.
Well, our love has left us tired;
This love has beat us black and blue.
It's the child that's still in me
That wants even though we're through.

I tried to hold you but my hands were cold;
I meant to catch you but I moved too slow.
I need to leave but I know it's time to go.
And I've been looking for salvation,
I've been searching low and high.
I forgot that it was waiting
In your smile and in your eyes.

Down the hills and through the winding roads
You hold my mind and I've lost control.
I never meant to fully disappear;
Now that you're gone, it has become clear.
I hope to see you before hell gets cold.
I'm scared to leave, but I know it's time to go.
