I met her at a new friend's place
She joked about the way I wouldn't dance
She sounded like a girl I knew
Or one I wish I'd known but never had
Her eyes were warm but tired
And she had the kind of laugh
That makes you sad
I told her about my summer flame
And how I nearly gave myself away
She told me about the man she left
The one that keeps her hurting every day
I said i know it isn't much
But if you were mine i swear i'd always stay
And i said sister  you and me
We're made to chase a home we'll never reach
And we're both haunted by the sound
Of waves upon a shore that we can't see
But i think you're what i need
To keep myself from falling off the side
Cause i can see it in your eyes
We've both been anchor chasing our whole lives
I'm first to say i've spent my days
Walking with my eyes set on the ground
Sure i've never slipped and fallen
But i've never seen the beauty that's around
Just imagine my surprise
When the i looked and your
Sweet eyes were what i found
And i fell headfirst inside ’em
Built a home inside your heart and settled down
And i said sister  you and me
We're made to chase a home we'll never reach
And we're both haunted by the sound
Of waves upon a shore that we can't see
But i think you're what i need
To keep myself from falling off the side
Cause i can see it in your eyes
We've both been anchor chasing our whole lives
