If Love Was In a Box

If love was in a box and you threw it in the ocean
Are you saying it's lost it's cause, and you're living with no one? 
Or are you saying that you're praying 
That somebody someday 
Will show you that they
Will jump into your waters
Previously unchartered 
Find the box that's loose
and bring it back to you
Because at the end of the box
There was a string you attached
That leads to your heart
If you were to find a way back
and I hope when it's over
You will finally see
At the other end of that rope
it was always just me.
