Let's take a trip far away
Into the open seas of my mind
Just a castaway a place to call my home
In a world so vast
I feel so open and alone
Take me away
To a place I know
Let me see your face
Give me comfort
Never let me go
100 days alone at sea
I miss the times I spent with you
Are you thinking of me
I feel so bad now regrets are few
If I could have one more day
One more with you
Take me away
To a place I know
Let me see your face
Never let me go
