[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I know it's hard to reach you
I know it's hard to breathe
I know it's hard to be you sometimes
I can't imagine what that means
This must be someone else's story
I can't follow what you've planned
How could this be about me?
Am I supposed to understand?

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Like a ship on the ocean
Headed out to sea
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
You're still looking for redemption
Still can't find a trace
If there is nothing after
There'll be no saving grace
I'm giving you control now
I need some kind of sign
Come take away the sorrow now
I gave you all that's mine

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Like a ship on the ocean
Headed out to sea
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Like a ship on the ocean
Headed out to sea
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
