lyrics

This ship is sinking
It started so slowly
But the water is creeping
Between my toes

And it's been sinking for years
But with each wave you would make
Each promise you’d break
Clearly the end was near

Now that I’m on dry land
Tell me why do I miss the sea?

And I start bailing
My fingers blister and bleed
Your water’s never ending
I can’t stop the sea

This ship's been sinking for years
But with each wave you would make
Each promise you’d break
Clearly the end was near

Now that I’m on dry land
Tell me why do I miss the sea?

And I thought what we had was so precious and rare
And that one day you would wake up and care

But I guess I was oblivious
To think that anything could save us
And no matter how far we’d roam
You would always be my home

This ship's been sinking for years
But with each wave you would make
Each promise you’d break
Clearly the end was near

Now that I’m on dry land
Tell me why do I miss the sea?
