Landlocked Song Lyrics
Landlocked by David Mead leaving the hospital i stopped to see a man in a wheelchair
and how did he get there i wonder
five steps away from you cramped up with rage
silent i sit here and how did i get here i wonder
unaccountable just a vegetable holding on to his roots
i want to be with you
i want to swim but i'm landlocked, tongue tied
i want to sail away
i want to breathe but i'm landlocked
you take to sea with your battleship troops
they crash through the windows in quiet crescendos of ocean
if i were the child you once taught me to be
i'd splash in the breakers but now watch the faker he sinks
just a mime you see, don't know how to be
won't take no for an answer
i want to be with you
i want to swim but i'm landlocked, tongue tied
i want to sail away
i want to breathe but i'm landlocked
maybe you're to blame
you left me here enframed
or maybe i should call it off
and anchor myself for good
i want to be with you
i want to swim but i'm landlocked, tongue tied
i want to sail away
i want to breathe but i'm landlocked
ooh...
