Ships In The Night

Lyrics

Like ships in the night
 You keep passing me by
 Just wasting time
 Trying to prove who's right
 And if it all goes crashing into 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, I'm not going away
 Like you watched at fourteen as it went down the drain
 And pop's stayed the same and your mom's moved away
 How many of our parents seem to make it anyway?
 We're just fumbling through the gray
 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
 Just wasting time
 Trying to prove who's right
 And if it all goes crashing into 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
 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 carpet
 They won't know my name
 Riding in silence, all that we wanna say
 About to board when you call on the phone
 You say, "I'm sorry, I'll be waiting at home"
 Feels like we're learning this out on our own
 Trying to find a way down the 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
 Just wasting time
 Trying to prove who's right
 And if it all goes crashing into 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 gonna find my way
 Back to your side
 ♪
 And I'm gonna find my way
 Back to your side
 Like ships in the night
 You keep passing me by
 Just wasting time
 Trying to prove who's right
 And if it all goes crashing into 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
