While the waves are falling empty
The words don't mean a thing
All the faces that you once knew
Are watching through a screen
And while your clarity is fading
You're clawing out from more
And everyone you once knew
Is watching from the shore
And one day the shoreline will erode
All we can do is watch as you're
Pulled from the shore
Pulled from the shore
Pulled from the shore
Pulled from the shore
There's a wind on the horizon
And the clouds are pushing on
But the poetry you once read
Is spinning in a song
And the lines are only written
Where the water claims the sand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand
And one day the shoreline will erode
All we can do is watch as you're
Pulled from the shore
Pulled from the shore
Pulled from the shore
Pulled from the shore
And I'm sitting by the water as the sunset fades
And halfway round the world begins another day
I'm looking at a photo as the edges fray
And soon enough the footprints will be swept away
Pulled from the shore
Pulled from the shore
Pulled from the shore
Pulled from the shore
And now the daylight's fading
But I can still make my way home
Cause there's a light that you left me
But you're not there no more
You're pulled from the shore
