Lyrics
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing to the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night letting cannonballs fly
Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
Fists fly from my mouth as it turns south
You're down the driveway, I'm on the couch
Chasing your dreams since the violent fifth grade
Trying to believe in your silent own way
'Cause we'll be okay, not going away
You watched at fourteen as it went down the drain
Your papa stayed the same and your moms went away
How many of our parents seem to make it anyway?
We're just fumbling through the grey
Trying to find a heart that's not walking away
Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far from so close
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing to the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night
You're passing me by
You're passing me by
Like ships in the night
And I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane
Had to pack and you had cramps and I was late
Headed to a red car but they won't know my name
Riding in silence, all that we want to save
'Bout to board when you call on the phone
You say, "I'm sorry, I'm waiting at home"
Feels like we're learning this out on our own
Trying to find a way down a road we don't know
Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far from so close
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing to the sea
