This Ship Was About To Wreck! Songtext
von Ghosts and Me

How many days will I be out on this ship for me to be twenty thousand leagues away from here?
Did you hear I threw my smiles? I fear the blue sea has swallowed them alive
Take your time, I'll take mine
If you're a clock then I'm its time
This ain't goodbye, this ain't goodbye
Splatter ink in the white
If you're a letter I'm its lines
I told you once: We're fragments

How many more nights will I stand, while I lie awake at night sleepless writing these rhymes?
My ship's book: some scrawly lines
I heard you hid your laughter, you're after something I can never send from here


Take your time, I'll take mine
If you're a clock then I'm its time
Every minute you're through, every second I'll be there too
Closer to you…
Take your time, I'll take mine
If you're a clock then I'm its time
This ain't goodbye, this ain't goodbye
Splatter ink in the white
If you're a letter I'm its lines
I told you once: We're fragments

Every man's brave hands on deck!
We're facing death!
This ship's heading into a perfect storm. We face death.
Every man's brave hands on deck!
We're facing death!
This ship's hull is being battered and battered to death!

But I know now there's no storm that we can't take, we are rockcliffs
And I know now we'll always be the same,
You know you saved me…

The worst thing to take is that distance will scratch our skin
If you feel the current it's stronger than you, try to swim…

Take your time, I'll take mine
If you're a clock then I'm its time
This ain't goodbye, this ain't goodbye
Splatter ink in the white
If you're a letter I'm its lines
I told you once: We're fragments
We're no more than missing pieces of what we were
