Let me say that resentment is here
when you choose to steer clear
of every effort that I make

I won't mask this message in a metaphor
in an attempt to ensure that you relate

Cause we were doing great
until it dropped
all the planks, they cracked
and the ship began to sink

I often wonder if we could settle
for less than perfect in exchange for just okay

This is the song that we were playin'
while the waves were swayin'
stuck with you beneath the planks
singin' when the ship sank

This is my declaration of dependancy
it's clear I have a tendancy
to shoot myself right in the foot
when someone's finally next to me

And I'll express some discontent
pretent it's not affecting me
project a hint of confidence
but choose these words selectively

Cause actually, reality,
you're the chain that anchors me
you're the floor I go to when
the cracks all start developing
and I will do most anything
to conjure up the remedy
this turbulence may shake us
but I don't believe in entropy

This is the song that we were playin'
while the waves were swayin'
stuck with you beneath the planks
singin' when the ship sank

You see I'd rather be a submarine than a shipwreck
maybe that's how we have to operate
because quite frankly my success depends on not being around
let me explain I can't domesticate

This is the song that we were playin'
while the waves were swayin'
stuck with you beneath the planks
singin' when the ship sank

This is the song that we were playin'
while the waves were swayin'
stuck with you beneath the planks
singin' when the ship sank
