Ships In The Night (Album Version) - Mat Kearney

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 letting cannon balls fly

Say what you mean and it turns to a fight

Fist fly from my mouth as it turns south

You're down the driveway I'm on the couch

Chasing your dreams since the violent 5th grade

Trying to believe in your silent own way

Cause we'll be ok I'm not going away

Like you watched at fourteen as it went down the drain

And pops stayed the same and your moms moved away

How many of our parents seem to make it anyway

We're just fumbling through the grey

Trying 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

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're passing me by

You're passing me by

Like ships in the night

And 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

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'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
