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 watched at fourteen as you went down the drain

Your pop's stayed the same and your mom's moved away

How many of our parents seem to 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

If it's just you and me

Trying to find the light

Like ships in the night

You're passing me by

You're passing me by

Like ships in the night

I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane

Had to pack and you had cramps, and I was late

Headed to a red carpet, they won't 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

If it's just you and me

Trying to find the light

Like ships in the night

You're passing me by

You're passing me by

Like ships in the night

And I'm gonna find my way

Back to your side

And I'm gonna find my way

Back to your side

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

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

You're passing me by

Passing me by

Like ships in the night
