lyrics

Anchor

Words and Music by Pippa Andrew


Steaming cups in the kitchen
Drinking parental wisdom
Saying, 'Oh, when will you realise,
the need for compromise'

So I was scared to be your anchor
You were scared to be the breeze in my sails
No wonder we were scared
When things derailed

Now I know, you weren't keeping me there
We were just trapped by fear
I still love you
Maybe just an idea I cling to

And now I'm your imaginary anchor
You're the breeze in my imaginary sails
Why was it a shock to feel,
so liberated to have failed

Sweet relief
Stinging tears
Silent shock
Falls on deaf ears
Sordid pleasure
Something to recount
An experience to objectify
To write a song about

I'm your imaginary anchor
You're the breeze in my imaginary sails
No wonder we were scared
When things derailed

And now I'm your imaginary anchor
You're the breeze in my imaginary sails
Why was it a shock to feel,
so liberared to have failed?
