Sometimes I'm smiling with faraway eyes
If you hear me laugh like I almost got it right
It's all in my head where I go and hide
And when I'm slipping away let me be in that place
Don't toss me a line
Draw me out of my silence
I don't want you to save me
I just drift away from the anchor of promises
I don't want you to save me
You can feel too deeply and it burns like a falling star
You can face the reckoning and learn to hide your scars
You can hold me back
But I'm sailing on that ark
I sink to my place and imagine
What I meant to be
What grace means to me
Don't toss me a line
Draw me out of my silence
I don't want you to save me
I just drift away from the anchor of promises
I don't want you to save me
You can hear the words start the waves that pull too far
If we rise above there's the tide to buck
The lure of illusions too promising to release
I spend too much time in my head so I don't have to plead and disagree
Or line up to be an echo
Don't toss me a line
Draw me out of my silence
I don't want you to save me
I just drift away from rancor and promises
I don't want you to save me
