On a sailboat
I am slowly floating nowhere
Lost the memories of where I am and why
Black ocean churning
A million stars are burning
Planetariums were right about the sky
Once upon a day I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves
And I'm taking on water, hard to see, I won't always be alone
There was a time when August sun was high and centered on me
But it did me on my back and settled down
Used to scream through the land used to size it in my head
But it fell behind the line that leads to sky
Once upon a day I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves
And I'm taking on water, hard to see, I won't always be alone
Inside this storm whipping in the wind
My sail is torn In other words, the ends, are never not my own
Hard to see I won't always be alone
I'm a sailboat out of here slowly floating nowhere
Then someday I'll wash upon someone else's shore
I am slowly floating nowhere
Lost the memories of where I am and why
Black ocean churning
A million stars are burning
Planetariums were right about the sky
Once upon a day I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves
And I'm taking on water, hard to see, I won't always be alone
There was a time when August sun was high and centered on me
But it did me on my back and settled down
Used to scream through the land used to size it in my head
But it fell behind the line that leads to sky
Once upon a day I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves
And I'm taking on water, hard to see, I won't always be alone
Inside this storm whipping in the wind
My sail is torn In other words, the ends, are never not my own
Hard to see I won't always be alone
I'm a sailboat out of here slowly floating nowhere
Then someday I'll wash upon someone else's shore

I think this song is actually pretty simple. I think it's sort of about being big at one point, then drifting off into nothingness when you get older and feel more alone. But there's a few twinges of hope that things will get better and might actually stay that way, in the lines "Hard to see I won't always be alone" and "then someday I'll wash upon someone else's shore".
