Anchor Chasing - Taylor Berrett

I met her at a new friend's place

She joked about the way i wouldn't dance

She sounded like a girl I knew

Or one i wish i'd known but never had

Her eyes were warm but tired

And she had the kind of laugh that makes you sad

I told her about my summer flame

And how i nearly gave myself away

She told me about the man she left

The one that keeps her hurting every day

I said i know it isn't much

But if you were mine i swear i'd always stay

And i said sister, you and me

We're made to chase a home we'll never reach

And we're both haunted by the sound

Of waves upon a shore that we can't see

But i think you're what i need

To keep myself from falling off the side

Cause i can see it in your eyes

We've both been anchor chasing our whole lives

I'm first to say i've spent my days

Walking with my eyes set on the ground

Sure i've never slipped and fallen

But i've never seen the beauty that's around

Just imagine my surprise

When the i looked and your sweet eyes were what i found

And i fell headfirst inside em

Built a home inside your heart and settled down

And i said sister, you and me

We're made to chase a home we'll never reach

And we're both haunted by the sound

Of waves upon a shore that we can't see

But i think you're what i need

To keep myself from falling off the side

Cause i can see it in your eyes

We've both been anchor chasing our whole lives
