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 [X2]
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
