Abandoned Harbor

Lately we've been taking on water

Our fleet has been riddled with holes

You begged me through your tears for all hands on deck

Doubting we've got anything left

'Cause we jumped head first into the shallows

Knowing all the risk involved

We'd blissfully ignored all the inbound gales

Red flags and tangerine-sized hail

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh, ooh

Darling, one by one, we will mend these ships

No, it won't be fun, but it's the long game

When this abandoned harbor fills with life again

Will you let out your anchor and let it sink?

Will you let out your anchor and let it sink?

Now words are being thrown around like daggers

Hitting all the ripest veins

Rolling off our tongues like the lines had been rehearsed

Just long enough to really make 'em hurt

And I dared you to leave in a fit of rage

A week before your birthday

Yeah, you were running hot and you called my bluff

I should've kept my mouth shut

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh, ooh

Darling, one by one, we will mend these ships

No, it won't be fun, but it's the long game

When this abandoned harbor fills with life again

Will you let out your anchor and let it sink?

Will you let out your anchor and let it sink?

Will you let out your anchor and let it sink?

Oh, I've tried so hard just to know ya

Can I leave this all behind?

Or can I be just like the lighthouse in the harbor

Your unwavering perennial guide?

'Cause I watched you that evening in the grocery

Dancing through the frozen aisle

And I promised to myself

I wouldn't let you go this time
