Like ships in the night, you keep passing me by We’re just wasting time trying to prove who’s rightAnd if it all goes crashing into the sea, If it’s just you and me trying to find the lightLike ships in the night letting cannon balls flyingSay what you mean and turn to a fightAnd fists fly from my mouthIt turns south, you’re down the driveway And I’m on the couch Chasing dreams since the violent 5th grade,Trying to believe in your silent own way ‘Cause we’ll be okay, I’m not going away Like you watching at fourteen as it went down the drainAnd pops stayed the same, and your moms moved away How many of our parents seemed to make it anyway? We’re just fumbling through the grey,Trying to find a heart that’s not walking awayI 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 keep passing me by You keep passing me by, like ships in the nightAnd I’m at the airport waiting on a second plane Had to pack, 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 said, “I’m sorry, Ill be waiting at home.” Feels like we’re learning this out on our own Trying to find our way down road we don’t knowI 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 keep passing me by You keep 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 sideLike ships in the night, you keep passing me by You keep passing me by, like ships in the night
