Ships In The Night

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 watching at fourteen as it went down the drain

Your pops stayed the same and your moms moved away

How many of our parents 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

Its just you and me

Trying to find the light

Like ships in the night

Your passing me by

Your passing me by

Like ships in the night

I'm at the airport waiting on the second plane

Had to pack you had cramps

And I was late heading to a red carpet

They wont know my name

Riding in silence

All that we wanna say

Bout to board when you call on the phone

You say I'm sorry I'll be waiting at home

Feels like we're burning this out on our own

Trying to find our 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

Just wasting time

Trying to prove who's right

And if it all goes crashing into the sea

Its just you and me

Trying to find the light

Like ships in the night

Your passing me by

Your passing me by

Like ships in the night

I'm gonna find my way

Back to your side

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

Its just you and me

Trying to find the light

Like ships in the night

Your passing me by

Your passing me by

Like ships in the night
