Intro: Riff
Like ships in the nGbmight,
you keep passing me Dby
We're just wasting tAime
Trying to prEove who's right
And if it Gbmall goes crashing into thDe sea,
If its just yAou and me trying to fiEnd the light.
Like ships in the nGbmight letting cannon balls flying,
Say what you mDean and turn to a fight
And fists flyA from my mouth, it turns south,
you're down theE driveway and I'm on the couch
Chasing dGbmreams since the violent 5th grade,
Trying to beDlieve in your silent own way
Cause we'll be Aokay, I'm not going away
like you watching at fourEteen as it went down the drain
And pops stayed the sGbmame, and your moms moved away
How many of our pDarents seemed to make it anyway?
We're just fAumbling through the grey,
Trying find a hEeart that's not walking away.
I turn the liGbmghts down low
Walk these haDlls alone
We can fAeel so far from soE close
Like ships in the nGbmight,
you keep passing me Dby
We're just wasting tAime
Trying to prEove who's right
And if it Gbmall goes crashing into thDe sea,
If its just yAou and me trying to fiEnd the light.
Like ships in the nigGbmht,
you keep passing me byD.
You keep passing me byA,
like ships in the nighEt.
And I'm at the aiGbmrport waiting on a second plane,
Had to pDack, you had cramps and I was late
Headed to a rAed carpet, they won't know my name
Riding in sEilence all that we wanna say
About to bGbmoard when you call on the phone
You said, "I'm sDorry I'll be waiting at home."
Feels like we're lAearning this out on our own
Trying to find our Eway down road we don't know.
I turn the liGbmghts down low
Walk these haDlls alone
We can fAeel so far from soE close
Like ships in the nGbmight,
you keep passing me Dby
We're just wasting tAime
Trying to prEove who's right
And if it Gbmall goes crashing into thDe sea,
If its just yAou and me trying to fiEnd the light.
Like ships in the nigGbmht,
you keep passing me byD.
You keep passing me byA,
like ships in the nighEt.
Gbm And I'm gonna find my way Dback to your side A E
Gbm And I'm gonna find my way Dback to your side A E
Like ships in the nGbmight,
you keep passing me Dby
We're just wasting tAime
Trying to prEove who's right
And if it Gbmall goes crashing into thDe sea,
If its just yAou and me trying to fiEnd the light.
Like ships in the nigGbmht,
you keep passing me byD.
You keep passing me byA,
like ships in the nighEt.
