Ships In the Night - Thobbe Englund

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 watched at fourteen as it went down the drain And pop's stayed the same and your mom's moved away How many of our parents seem to 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 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 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 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 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

We're like two ships on the ocean That pass through the night Love used to flow so deeply It's nowhere in sight Just like two ships on the ocean Waving goodbye Leaving trails across the water As they're sailing by Every single night I pray Pray the winds blow you my way Now I'm moving on and so blue I would swim to the shore for you Why should I Have to be near you in my dreams Even though I Could feel you close to me Then you fade away to yesterday Just like two ships on the ocean Waving goodbye Leaving trails across the water As they're sailing by Now my memories are few Once we had such a love so true I never understand goodbyes We don't know but we both still try Time tries To erase you from my heart Yet I'm with you Though we're sent miles apart Then you fade away to yesterday We're like two ships on the ocean That pass through the night (Sail on) Just like two ships on the ocean Waving goodbye (Sail on) We go on and on and on and on On and on and on and on and on (Sail on) We go on and on and on and on (We're did we go wrong) On and on and on and on and on But still time Tries to erase you from my heart Still I'm with you Though we're miles apart Then you fade away to yesterday Repeat first and second verse to fade.

I just lost the feeling that I had today Do all these good times come and go away Tell me something that I could say Sometimes I just want to walk away And I begin to understand Ships can sink or rise But I'm standing here tonight And I'm knocking on your door I'll be anything you like If you can tell me what I'm here for Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? I just asked some questions that I've never had Does who we are fade out like a photograph? 'Cause if I could, I'd do it all again The good times, bad times, sink or swim I finally realized Ships can sink or rise But I'm standing here tonight And I'm knocking on your door I'll be anything you like If you can tell me what I'm here for Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? Oh-oh (oh-oh) Oh-oh (oh-oh) But I'm standing here tonight And I'm knocking on your door I'll be anything you like If you can tell me what I'm here for Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? (Oh-oh) Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? (Oh-oh) I just lost the feeling that I had today Do all these good times come and go away?
