The Calm

When I'm sitting here alone
The quite gets louder
Trying to keep calm
The tension in my shoulders
Carrying this so long

All I need is one word
Just a whisper
I know you aren't in the storm
Just your name
Stirs something inside...

Wading in the water
Never overwhelms
It's once your feet can't touch
Doesn't seem so bad at first
Then barely treading water
Then gasping for air

And I cry out
Just one glimpse
To see your face
And I'll walk on water
What happens next I can't explain...

You don't tend to feel lost
At first surroundings look familiar
But as the sun begins to set
How long have I been wandering
Then panic sets in
That sinking, empty feeling... lost

And when the emotion has passed
I know that all I need
Is to listen
Cause you don't leave me here
You give me what I need

It's not what I thought it was
But it's what I need
It's what is true
That sense
The calm sets in
