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
Its just you and me trying to find the light

Like ships in the night letting cannonballs fly
Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
This from my mouth to turn south
You’re down the driveway I’m on the couch

Chasing your dreams since the violent .. fifth grade
Trying to believe in your silent own way
Cause we’ll be okay, I’m not going away
Watch’n .. down the drain
Your pops stayed the same and your moms moved away
How many of our parents make it anyway
We’re just fumbling through the gray
Trying to find a heart that’s not walking away

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
Just wasting time trying to prove who’s right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
Its 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

I’m at the airport waitin’ on the second plane
At the back .. and I was late heading to a red carpet
They wont know my name riding in silence
All that we wanna say

Bout to board when you call on the phone
You say I’m sorry I’ll be waitin’ at home
Feels like we’re burning this out on our own
Trying to find our way down a road we don’t know

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
Just wasting time trying to prove who’s right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
Its 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

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
Its 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
