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
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
