[Bonus Track] Lifeguard

It's a time when the world is quietest
All is laid to rest
It's too early for the sun to rise
Too late for it to set
I'll stand here on this silent hill
Watching every motion
The rise and fall of life, and still
Have eyes for your stormy ocean

The world could lay to waste
Time could stop and cry
For the time I spent for you
The time you're on my mind

Nothing else will matter
When the waters take you o'er
But I'll rescue you again
It's why I'm here, and nothing more
No life would be worth living
Without a saving heart
So for you I'll always be
Your ever present Lifeguard

The world could lay to waste
Time could stop and cry
For the time I spent for you
The time you're on my mind

The world could lay to waste
Time could stop and cry
But the day I'm not around
Is the day I've left to...

[The last word is the hardest to write. Always. Breathe, and it's gone.]
