My Little Sinking Ship
You're my little sinking ship, not quite built to hold such weightWe were raised for the suburbs but we took to the wavesAnd you carry me around, from little town to little townNever knowing how much I needNever asking a thing from meI found you on the doorstep, it was brave to leave your roomMine is a safe place, I'll not abandon youOr that perfect nuclear family that I left behindNow I'm paying too much rent so you buy me some incenseYou said you were proud when I stopped smoking cigarettesAnd I hope that you're not disappointed that I started againAnd at that awful backyard party where we stole a bottle of redHopped a train, we got drunk and just sang songs insteadAnd later on the couch you told me it was the best trip you'd takenYou're my little sinking ship, not quite built to hold such weightWe were raised for the suburbs but we took to the wavesAnd you carry me around, from little town to little townNever knowing how much I needNever asking a thing from meSorry you had to hide from the bouncers at my showI organized an all-ages one just so you could goLetras de cancionesAnd I wrote this song an hour before to try and make you smileAnd Liz, do not look up to me, I am a drunken messYou're so god damn creative, a real force to be reckoned withAnd I will say with all my heart and soulThat I'll follow you wherever you may roamWherever you may roamToday's the family day so we'll spend it togetherDon't tell Mum and Dad, but you're my favourite family memberYou always were the good child, I was the one who needed all the attentionAnd you always take my side in battles that are mineAnd you say "Will, you fucked up", and I promise that I won't next timeAnd even though we both know I'm going to, I know you'll be on my sideYou're my little sinking ship, not quite built to hold such weightWe were raised for the suburbs but we took to the wavesAnd you carry me around, from little town to little townNever knowing how much I needNever knowing how much I need youThat you can ask anything of me From Letras Mania
