Rated: 18+ · Lyrics · Relationship · #887981
a song about being strong and independent in a failing relationship.
*it's a little difficult to read this properly with out the music, but i did my best to make it easy to interpret its rythem by separating each different strum in to stanzas. hope you enjoy it, and please, do me the honor of rating my work-i'd be happy to return the favor.*

In between your pickup and your punch lines
I got lost
And you really threw quite a curveball
Yeah you really know how to turn a bad girl off

When you SPLASH right into it
The ghostly images
Of a sailor and his mermaid
They jumped right in
Thought they'd take a swim
And forget the platonic foreplay

And I consider myself
Incredibly brave
To have boarded this ship with you
To isolate myself
And trust that I'd be safe
Surrounded by this watery blue
Sure, this boat can handle the rough waters
It just wasn't built for two.

And you know that aching in your chest
That greeting cards cry about
The one that doesnt even exist
The one I constantly lie about
It's like a big fat rat
Has burrowed
Inside of my chest
And it's spreading like a hot disease
Awaiting its blood test

And sometimes when I wake up in the morning my arms
Are still asleep
And sometimes my heart is beating fast
and I'm trembling like a leaf

And sometimes you're the first thing on my mind
And you're the last thing to go
And I guess its stupid to feel this way
Stupider to let you know

Cos you always tend to say the right thing
With the wrong mind
And you always seem to disapoint me
Every Fucking time.
So now you see the boat's sinking here
where your logic has brought us to
And you've tied the "You're Beautiful's" and "I love you's"
To the laces on my boots

And you're strapping on everything
That we
Ever adored
But before you can push me

I'll just jump over board
Cos I hear there's much more thrill
In a dive than a fall
And I'd rather have fun falling out of this
And do it with style

But no salt water can abide
The salt water coming from my eyes
Thats so wet
That it's dripping
Dripping Dry
And I've poked a whole
In this little malice filled heart
And the pus is draining slowly
As we slowly drift apart.

And I consider myself
Incredibly Dumb
To have boarded this ship with you
To let you drown me
You know, I thought this would be fun
Guess it wasn't built for two
No it wasn't built for two
