First Mate

There was a time I thought that I

Could live my life as a lonely guy

Doing whatever lonely people do

Wasted and weightlessly

Charting course across the sea

But all the time beside me there was you

You're like my first mate

There's something inchoate between the barstools

Could this be the wrong idea

You're moving your seat so near

As the ocean splashes round

The starboard side it makes a sound

You know the one I'm talking about

Don't you

You're like my first mate

There's something inchoate between the barstools

Could this be the wrong idea

You're moving your seat so near

I'm bending my ear

The sea is right here

An isle of fear

The sea is right here
