I always want what I can't get It's always close but not quite yet For the most part I forget What I wanted anyway I always see the things I'm not And look right past the things I've got For the most part I forgot, what I wanted anyway I think of all the things I've done What I do and what's to come Of all the choices that I make The chances that I didn't take Of all the dreams that tried and failed Birds that flew and ships that sailed Of all the love that's lived and died Makes me wonder why I Always want what I can't get It's always close but not quite yet For the most part I forget, what I wanted anyway I always see the things I'm not And look right past the things I've got For the most part I forgot, what I wanted anyway I think of all the folks I've known How they've changed and how they've grown Some are flyin' through the sky Some are sinkin' like stones Of all the memories I keep Locked away and buried deep Of all the times I've laughed and cried Makes me wonder why I Always want what I can't get It's always close but not quite yet For the most part I forget, what I wanted anyway I always see the things I'm not And look right past the things I've got For the most part I forgot, what I wanted anyway What I wanted anyway What I wanted anyway What I wanted anyway

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.

Some people never love Some keep a chain of withered hearts Some leave a trail of lovers Like old abandoned cars Me, I've lit a thousand candles Flame of hope at both ends Waiting for someone who Never did come back again Said a prayer And there was you You lay your cool cross Across this blistered heart You turned a light on In a corner that's always been dark You loved me when I was not kind When my soul was fire and ice You pointed out the diamonds That only felt like stones to me Said a prayer And there was you Be the last thing these eyes see When I am called from this earth Be the kiss that testifies Louder than final words Be the air I cling to when I leave Then my final prayer will be One more look, one more taste, one more breath Some people count their money Some people count their friends Some just collect their tears In pillows where all their dreams end Moments are my silver Days are my best companion Years are sweeter than dreams When every one is given To a prayer, and you Be the last thing these eyes see When I am called from this earth Be the kiss that testifies Louder than final words Be the air I cling to when I leave Then my final prayer will be One more look, one more taste, one more breath One more look, one more taste, one more breath
