Let me lie in the way you used to do
I awoke from a dream, I was lost at sea
And the sails are starting to creak
But it’s broken, it’s broken, I’m being ignored
I’m awake on the deck or asleep overboard
In a lot of ways
To swim and to drown might look the same
Feel sick, too bad
All hands on deck, the ship is burning down
Pull another breath above the waves
‘Cause what you get is always what you get
The rope, the rope is a frayed and lonely one
But I’m hanging on
Give me a chance to check the way again
Finding land is a trap, I’m addicted to maps
And the compass is pointing up
But it’s haunted, it’s haunted, I’ve seen it before
There’s a ghost on the ship floating up through the floor
In a lot of ways
That anchor’s long gone anyway
No sleep, beat black and blue
No milk to feed the crew
All hands on deck, the ship is burning down
Pull another breath above the waves
‘Cause what you get is always what you get
The rope, the rope is a frayed and lonely one
But I’m hanging on
I’m hanging on
They’ll cry, blame the boat
They’ll die, we won’t
All hands on deck, the ship is burning down
Pull another breath above the waves
‘Cause what you get is always what you get
The rope, the rope is a frayed and lonely one
But I’m hanging on
Do I seem distracted to you?
Do I seem distracted to you?
