[Introduction]

I drew a straight line

My barrel was fixed on the tree line

My back to the shore

The ocean roared

I drew a straight line

My barrel was fixed on the tree line

My back to the shore

The ocean roared

[Verse 1]

Then came the blindside

A fool suckered in by the low tide

Adrift in the waves

A castaway

[Chorus]

Sling me that line again

Shocked to be so naïve when I know

Every story ends this way

Pull me to shore again

Thought I could swim but I've learned it takes

More than a clever pen to break

Break the waves

[Verse 2]

See how the heart goes

Wherever the volatile wind blows?

Its anchors aweigh

With each new wave

[Chorus]

Sling me that line again

Shocked to be so naïve when I know every story ends this way

Pull me to shore again

Thought I could swim but I've learned it takes

More than a clever pen to break

Break the waves

[Outro]

The line that I've drawn in the sand keeps shifting

Catastrophe caved in my castle walls

God, grant me the gift of a deeper wisdom

And courage to rise every time I fall
