Never Love an Anchor Lyrics

[00:19.36] Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
[00:21.68] Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[00:28.49] Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
[00:30.92] Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[00:36.52]
[00:37.17] On some level, I think I always understood
[00:41.64] That these hands of mine were clumsy, not clever
[00:46.21] And I tried to do the best that I could
[00:49.85] But try as I might, I couldn't bring myself to hold you
[00:54.77]
[01:04.57] It's a secret I keep tucked inside my chest
[01:08.88] With this heart of mine that's guilty, not remorseful
[01:13.52] There is love that doesn't have a place to rest
[01:17.48] But it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulders
[01:23.24]
[01:27.76] Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
[01:30.05] Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[01:36.81] Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
[01:39.24] Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[01:45.48] On some level, I think I always understood
[01:49.89] That a ship could never really love an anchor
[01:54.32] So, I did the only thing that I could
[01:58.01] And severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbour
[02:03.89]
[02:12.50] There are times when I still wonder about you
[02:16.84] You are someone I have loved, but never known
[02:21.41] And you'll never see the reasons I had
[02:25.32] For keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you
[02:29.67]
[02:30.83] I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel
[02:35.33] I am all the things they might have said to you
[02:40.31] Do you ever think of me and my two hands, and wonder why?
[02:45.24]
[02:46.39] They never soothed your fevers
[02:50.00] And wonder why
[02:51.12] They never tied your shoes
[02:54.60] And wonder why
[02:55.83] They never held you gently
[02:59.34] And wonder why
[03:00.43] They never had the chance to lose you
[03:04.27]
[03:15.72] Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
[03:18.05] Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[03:24.80] Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
[03:27.17] Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[03:34.05]
