Six Months in a Leaky Boat - Split Enz

Your favorite band is back on the road And this fall they're playing the Hollywood Bowl I've already purchased two seats for their show I guess I'm an optimist 2011, you stole my heart here And I couldn't listen to that band for years 'Til that night last summer when you reappeared Forgot how bad I wanted this If I could see the future I never would believe her Fallin' in and out of love and fallin' in again We were never any good at being friends When Harry met Sally, and you fell asleep I closed your computer and stole the top sheet I was strung out in Austin for nearly a week Anxiety like we were kids I've been thinkin' too much and it's ruined my nights But it's hard when it isn't, to let yourself slide And my heart doesn't slow down when you kill the lights I never learned to call it quits If I could see the future I never would believe her Fallin' in and out of love and fallin' in again We were never any good at being friends I'll go hungry and crazy and honest for you I don't always get angry but I'm promisin' to If it's all that you want then it's all that I can do Desire I never made any sense I'll wait for years, but I won't wait alone And then someday you'll wait for my face on your phone And I'll call and I'll say, "I think you should come home" 'Cause I'm tired of being your ex Can I take you out to a concert six months from now?

Sew this up with threads of reason and regret So I will not forget, I will not forget How this felt one year six months ago I know I cannot forget, I cannot forget I'm falling into Memories of you And things we used to do Follow me there A beautiful somewhere A place that I can share with you I can tell that you don't know me anymore It's easy to forget, sometimes we just forget And being on this road is anything but sure Maybe we'll forget, I hope we don't forget I'm falling into Memories of you And things we used to do Follow me there A beautiful somewhere A place that I can share with you So many nights Legs tangled tight Wrap me up in a dream with you Close up these eyes Try not to cry All that I've got to pull me through is memories of you Memories of you Memories of you Memories of you I'm falling into Memories of you And things we used to do Follow me there A beautiful somewhere A place that we can share Falling into Memories of you And things we used to do

"I loved you and you know it So I wrote a song just like Farley Mowat For a little while I was your dual lover I knew this would happen one way or another Looks like I'm getting ready to swim The chances of him walking the plank Are looking pretty slim Cause there's three of us in a boat And it doesn't look like this boat's gonna float Cause there's three of us in a boat And it won't float She said, "I hope you have some agility," "I hope you have some aquatic ability." We all know this is your ship, my dear So don't say a word, it's perfectly clear I've got my suit on, I'm going in With a heart as fragile as mine Why did we even begin? Cause there's three of us in a boat And it doesn't look like this boat's gonna float Cause there's three of us in a boat And it won't float I've found new days of sunshine I've found new days of sunshine I've found new days of sunshine Looks like we're in for nasty weather But if you're meant to be Then you'll stick together Don't come crying to me When your horizons turn dark and gray, babe Because I've found new days of sunshine I've found new days of sunshine I've found new days of sunshine Cause there's three of us in a boat And it doesn't look like this boat's gonna float Cause there's three of us in a boat And it won't float Cause there's three of us in a boat Cause there's three of us in a boat Cause there's three of us in a boat And it won't float"

I went out to see if I could fall in love again That was my mistake That was my mistake I went out to see if I could raise a laugh again That was my mistake That was my mistake When all I needed was a friend To make me stop and think again To pull me up and pull me through Tally ho, your health my dear I went out to see if I could live forgotten days That was my mistake That was my mistake One by one I counted all those happiest of days Yeah, that was my mistake Why, that was my mistake What's gone is gone, sweet memories Don't let them get the best of me No more lost in history No more lost for love All I needed was a friend To make me stop and think again The call to arms is loud and clear Tally ho, your health my dear I went out to see if I could fall in love again Yeah, that was my mistake Why, that was my mistake One by one I counted all those happiest of days Yeah, that was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake That was my mistake
