lyrics

Ship On Fire

Ship on fire, heading out to sea,
I was causing so much confusion, that they,
Pulled me away.
Like a,
Ship on fire, if you can, see what that means,
No-one wants to be around when it hits the magazine.

But they don't see,
The way that you looked at me.
Like a comet on the run,
I think of it, and I just burn.

Like a,
Ship on fire, seen from the safety of the shore,
You can thank your lucky stars, it's not your,
Problem anymore.
Like a,
Ship on fire, well I tried not to burn right down, but,
Every time they check the guage, it's still not,
Under control.

But they don't see,
The way that you looked at me.
Like the powder waiting in the gun,
I think of you, and I just burn.

Woah-oh-oh-oh

But they don't see,
The way that you look at me.
Like a comet on the run,
I think of it, and I just burn.

Like a,
Ship on fire.

Woah-oh-oh-oh

Their most recent 4-song EP "heartstopper" was released in July of 2019. ... more
