Mat Kearney - Ships in the Night lyrics
[Mat Kearney - Ships in the Night lyrics]
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
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

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
