I like the song's message. I think many people, especially once they reach those first stages of adulthood (and well beyond), are so determined to be self-reliant and figure everything out themselves, that they forget that doesn't mean you can't lean on others along the way. Having someone there for you, when you feel there's no way out, can be the greatest help of all. It may be a family member, a friend, a teacher, a counselor, a therapist, a higher power, or even an unexpected stranger. No one has made it through life without borrowing someone's light to find their way through the darkness.

Lyrics
Where the waves are crashing
The only place I've ever known
Now the future has me
See it all around me
I said the past is dead
The life I had is gone
I am barely breathing
To the sound of angels
Am I alive or just a ghost?
Haunted by my sorrows
Gravity is taking hold
I will not give up until I see the sun
I am barely breathing
These tired wings are falling
I need you to catch me
I can't take it anymore
I return to the place
Where the water covers over everything
Rescue me somehow
I am barely breathing
These tired wings are falling
I need you to catch me
I am barely breathing
