Message In A Bottle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just cast away
And I am lost at sea
Another lonely day
And no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me
Before I fall into despair

[Chorus]
I send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

[Verse 2]
A year has passed since
I wrote my note
I should have known it
Right from the start
Only hope can
Keep me together
Love can mend your life but
Love can break your heart

[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Walked out this morning
I don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
It seems I'm not alone at
Being alone
A hundred million castaways
All looking for a home

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
