I placed it by the sea
For you to find me
I hope that it might turn into
Something better than my reality
O-oh! Time is standing still
What if I keep on hoping you'll say you will
All this time we can't be wasting
'Cause all along I've been here waiting
O-oh! I want you to know
I don't want us to be on
I need this for a reason
I sent my message in a bottle (yeah, yeah)
Sent my message out to you
It could be so beautiful
If I get my message (yeah)
My message out to you
My message out to you
My message out to you (yeah, yeah)
If I get my message (yeah)
My message out to you (yeah, yeah)
If I get my message (yeah)
My message out to you
This was made to float
Even though fear surrounds me
'Cause I can not pretend I feel so vulnerable
Giving you this part of me
O-oh time is standing still
What if I keep on hoping you'll say you will
All this time we can't be wasting
'Cause all along I've been here waiting
O-oh! I want you to know
I don't want us to be on
I need this for a reason
I sent my message in a bottle (yeah, yeah)
Sent my message out to you
It could be so beautiful
If I get my message (yeah)
My message out to you (yeah, yeah)
If I get my message (yeah)
My message out to you (yeah, yeah)
If I get my message (yeah)
My message out to you
My message out to you
I placed it by the sea
For you to find me
I hope that it might turn into
Something better than my reality
