"You said open your eyes and
I said I don't like surprises
You said surprise, you're up to your knees in the water
And don't have a life-vest
I know, I know, I know, but don't worry
'Cause I've got it figured out
You said jump in the boat, man
I said, no, you reach your hand
You said, the storms that will come
Will be more than enough and alone you cannot win
You know, you know, you know without hope
You'll only sink not swim
And the current here is stronger now
Than I remember
And I'm cryin' for you to help
Please, save me
When I feel like I am drifting away
Sinking down, the sands are shifting today
I'm about to lose my way
You anchor, anchor me down
Looking out, the skies are turning to gray
All around, the tide is pulling away
Just about to lose my way
You anchor, anchor me down
You said, whatever happens
Don't get caught in the rapids
Hold on, I'm over the edge
And I'm reachin' for help 'cause I'm caught in the deep end
I know, I know, I know what you said
But I'm in over my head
You said, I'm not alone here
I said, throw me a rope and
I've had more than enough of the rain
And the cold and I wanna give up
And I know, I know, I know without hope
I'll only sink, not swim
And the current here is stronger now
Than I remembered
And I'm cryin' for you to help
Please, save me
When I feel like I am drifting away
Sinking down, the sands are shifting today
I'm about to lose my way
You anchor, anchor me down
Looking out, the skies are turning to gray
All around, the tide is pulling away
Just about to lose my way
You anchor, anchor me down
And the current here is stronger now
Than I remember
When I cry for you to help
You save me
And the current here is stronger now
Than I remember
And I'm cryin' out for you to help
And you save me
When I feel like I am drifting away
Sinking down, the sands are shifting today
I'm about to lose my way
You anchor, anchor me down
Looking out, the skies are turning to gray
All around, the tide is pulling away
Just about to lose my way
You anchor, anchor me down"

I really like this song because it brings together a mix of electronic and rock, and it fits. It also has that alternative rock feel to it. It's a great mix of feelings as well. It conveys being lost and then found by someone you love or that is close to you. Just when you're about to fail, to fall, they swoop in and save you.
But the reason that I really like this song is that it reminds me of myself. It says, "Just about to lose my way, you anchor, anchor me down." and that sounds like me and my boyfriend, Tiger. Just when I'm about to lose myself, lose my way, he pulls me back, and he saves me. So I connect with this song on a deeper level than just music, I relate to it. I think that's what makes a really great song. When you relate to it. When you connect to it on a deeper level than just sounding good. And some people don't realize that.
Hope you enjoyed listening.
