What's With The Life Vest?

"Castaway"

I told you I was right
if I walked away, you'd give up the fight
your arms may be strong
but you've been carrying shackles all along

who told you to jump ship?
I thought you had a life vest
I was trying to help you find it
how will you protect what's inside your chest?

*now you're cast away
(you jumped over the side, you're trying to hide)
you cast yourself away
(you keep it inside, a slave to your pride)
you're a castaway
castaway*

I told you not to sail at night
It's even harder to feel without your sight
Please please don't blink
I won't be able to save you if you sink

who told you to jump ship?
I thought you were still asleep at the helm
your name sticks to my lips
the anchor you're chained to has you overwhelmed

*now you're cast away
(you jumped over the side, you're trying to hide)
you cast yourself away
(you keep it inside, a slave to your pride)
you're a castaway
castaway*

don't grab my hand!
you'll pull me in!
