Let me say that resentment is here
When you chose to steer clear
Of every effort that I make


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


Cuz 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 playing
While the waves were swaying

Stuck with you beneath the planks
Singing when the ship sank


This is my declaration of dependency
It's clear I have a tendency
To shoot myself right in the foot

When someone's finally next to me

And I'll express some discontent

Pretend it's not affecting me
Project a hint of confidence
But chose these words selectively


Cuz 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 playing

While the waves were swaying
Stuck with you beneath the planks
Singing 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 playing
While the waves were swaying
Stuck with you beneath the planks

Singing when the ship sank (x2)
