Well call me a sailor
Cause I'm floating away
And I'm drifting away
And you won't see my face at your door
Passed out on the floor
Or vomit in public
And embarrass your friends
That's me on the water
On my own little island
And you won't ever see me again
No I'm not coming back!
Well the moons gotten full
And the tides on the rise
And my heart is the driftwood lost long ago
Well the moons gotten full
And the tides on the rise
And my heart is the driftwood lost long ago
And thinking of you is like a shiver of sharks
That gnaw at the wood
And unhinge these nails
Of what's keeping me together
This salty water has been stained across my lips
And when I move in to forget you
She can taste you in our kiss
But suddenly
I'm struggling
To put my own two feet under me
This water's deep
And now I'm swallowing
These same tears that are following
Our footprints on the shore
This salty water!
This salty water
Some nights I still get seasick
But every night it still makes me sick
That the only reason I rest
Is my floating body
My hollowed out chest
Well call me a sailor
Cause I'm floating away
And I'm drifting away
And you won't see my face at your door
Passed out on the floor
Or vomit in public
And embarrass your friends
