Jer Coons - Ship Sank lyrics

rate me

Let me say that resentment is here<br />

When you chose to steer clear<br />

Of every effort that I make<br />

<br />

I won't mask this message in a metaphor<br />

In an attempt to insure that you relate<br />

<br />

Cuz we were doing great<br />

Until it dropped<br />

All the planks, they cracked<br />

And the ship began to sink<br />

<br />

I often wonder if we could<br />

Settle for less than perfect<br />

In exchange for just okay<br />

<br />

This is the song that we were playing<br />

While the waves were swaying<br />

Stuck with you beneath the planks<br />

Singing when the ship sank<br />

<br />

This is my declaration of dependency<br />

It's clear I have a tendency<br />

To shoot myself right in the foot<br />

When someone's finally next to me<br />

<br />

And I'll express some discontent<br />

Pretend it's not affecting me<br />

Project a hint of confidence<br />

But chose these words selectively<br />

<br />

Cuz actually reality<br />

You're the chain that anchors me<br />

You're the floor I go to<br />

When the cracks all start developing<br />

<br />

And I will do most anything<br />

To conjure up the remedy<br />

This turbulence may shake us<br />

But I don't believe in entropy<br />

<br />

This is the song that we were playing<br />

While the waves were swaying<br />

Stuck with you beneath the planks<br />

Singing when the ship sank<br />

<br />

You see I'd rather be a submarine<br />

Than a shipwreck<br />

Maybe that's how we have to operate<br />

Because quite frankly my success<br />

Depends on not being around<br />

Let me explain<br />

I can't domesticate<br />

<br />

This is the song that we were playing<br />

While the waves were swaying<br />

Stuck with you beneath the planks<br />

Singing when the ship sank (x2)
