So long ago, I drew a line for myself in the sand,
Time after time I moved it, when I crossed it again and again,
Here we are, back at the same old place,
Down on the ground on my knees,
But I'm still staring you in the face.
I know that I've been afraid,
And I'm getting jaded, more and more every day,
I don't really care what anybody says,
I ain't getting closer, I'm just running away.
How many times, on a raging sea?
You see me going down, you gonna rescue me?
If I turn back to you on bended knee, will you unlock my cage?
Will you set me free?
Set me free.
I've got a debt that I carry around, carry around like a weight,
It don't relieve me to know that it's already paid,
I've been a long, long way from my home,
I went the wrong way, now it seems I'm bound, and determined to roam,
Roam on, babe.
Yeah, but how many times, in the burning heat?
If I go down in flames will you rescue me?
If I turn back to you on bended knee, will you unlock my cage?
