Lyrics

This Ship

Strange things on the ocean floor

Down where there is no light

No complications

Just a simple kind of life

Lets swim in night time

Hard to know where I stand

With two feet on dry land

As treacherous as snakes and shifting sands

If you're looking for answers

If you're looking don't look here

Don't look here

If you're looking for answers

If you're looking don't look here

Don't look here

I know

I'm guaranteed to be watching

I'm guaranteed to be waiting

For something to change

I know

I'm guaranteed to be watching

I'm guaranteed to be waiting

For something to change

Strange things never seen before

Locked rooms and silence

Bumps in the night and stories that we tell to children

A clear glass divide

No way to cross the line

They swim forever while I'm going out to watch the sea come in

If you're looking for answers

If you're looking don't look here

Don't look here

If you're looking for answers

If you're looking don't look here

Don't look here

I know

I'm guaranteed to be watching

I'm guaranteed to be waiting

For something to change

I know

I'm guaranteed to be watching

I'm guaranteed to be waiting

For something to change

This ships' sailed as far as it can

This ships' sailed as far as it can

This ships' sailed as far as it can

This ships' sailed as far as it can

This ships' sailed as far as it can

If you're looking for answers

If you're looking don't look here

Don't look here

If you're looking for answers

If you're looking don't look here

Don't look here

I know

I'm guaranteed to be watching

I'm guaranteed to be waiting

For something to change

What does it feel like

To be something

To be something you're not?

And we could never know

I know

I'm guaranteed to be watching

I'm guaranteed to be waiting

For something to change
