Mat Kearney - Ships In The Night

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 flying
Say what you mean and
turn to a fight
And fists fly from my mouth
It turns south,
you’re down the driveway
And I’m on the couch
Chasing dream since
the violent 5th grade,
Trying to believe in
your silent own way
’Cause we’ll be okay,
I’m not going away
Like you watching at
fourteen as it went down the drain
And pops stayed the same,
and your moms moves away
How many of our parents
seemed to make it anyway?
We’re just fumbling
tought the grey,
Trying to find a heart
that’s not walking away
I 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 keep passing me by
you keep passing me by
Like ships in the night
And I’m at the airport waiting
on a second plane
Had to pack, 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 ont he phone
You said”I’m sorry, I’ll be
waiting at home.”
Feels like we’re learning this out on
our own
Trying to find our way down road we
don’t know
I 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 keep passing me by
you keep passing me by
Like ships in the night
I’m gonna find my way
Back to your side
I’m gonna find my way
Back to your side
Like ships in the night,
you keep passing me by
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
Your passing me by
Your passing me by
Like ships in the night
