Like ships in the night You keep passing me by We're 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 cannon balls fly Say what you mean and it turns to a fight Fist fly from my mouth as it turns south You're down the driveway... I'm on the couch
Chasing your dreams since the violent 5th grade Trying to believe in your silent own way Cause we'll be ok... I'm not going away Like you watched at fourteen as it went down the drain
And pops stayed the same and your moms moved away How many of our parents seem to make it anyway We're just fumbling through the grey Trying 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 We're 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 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
About to board when you call on the phone You say "I'm sorry. I'll be waiting at home" Feels like we're learning this out on our own Trying to find a way down the 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 We're 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
Like ships in the night You keep passing me by We're 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
