Lyrics
Boy Overboard
Lost and found tossed around
Alone out on the sea
It’s getting cold now
It comes around to take me down
The wind is blowing fierce
I feel a storm cloud coming
The waves are all around me like the words that I wanna say
I wish you had found me before the sky turned grey
One thing is worse than not knowing direction
It’s when your destination isn’t there
I need a little shelter from out here
If you and I are ships out on the ocean
Then I will look for you on my horizons
I can feel the waves and they’re rising
Boy overboard
I navigate thru all of my emotions
The warning lights are flashing now
I feel I’m going under
The wind has blown away the skyline
Boy Overboard …Boy overboard
Back and forth a collision course
Your waves crash on my shores and I’ll be stranded now
An island and an open sea
I'd rather have you next to me
I’ll be on my own drifting
I can see clearly for the first time in so long
I wish you were near me 'cause I could take this ocean on
One thing is worse than not knowing direction
It’s when your destination isn’t there
Oh I need a little shelter from out here
If you and I are ships out on the ocean
Then I will look for you on my horizons
I can feel the waves and they’re rising
Boy overboard
I navigate thru all of my emotions
The warning lights are flashing now
I fear I’m going under
The wind has blown away the skyline
Boy overboard ….Boy overboard
We all get a choice to make
Sink or swim, give and take
I’m drowning in a lack of you
I'm coming up for air
I know that you still care
You'd be lying if you said it wasn't true
If you and I are ships out on the ocean
I will look for you on my horizons
I can feel the waves and they’re rising
Boy overboard
I navigate through all of my emotions
The warning lights are flashing now
I fear I’m going under
The wind has blown away the skyline
Boy overboard…Boy overboard

A professional windsurfer in his teen years, Justin was attacked by a tiger shark off the coast of South America when he was 20 years old, cutting major arteries, almost severing his foot, and leaving him with 250 stitches. This moment would prove to be a watershed in Justin's life when during a yearlong recovery his grandma gave him a guitar and his first song was born.
