Sinking Ships Songtext
von The JB Conspiracy

Do you remember how it all began
This fairytale of perfection?
We tried to build this fantasy
On picture perfect memories

But as we turned against the grain
The imperfections still remain
And so you turned on us
And bit by bit took everything we had
Till there was nothing left to keep us afloat

Oh what a big surprise
You never learnt to compromise
You only ever took your time

Oh what a big surprise
You never opened up your eyes
To everything you left behind

But bit by bit we′ll take back all you stole


So how much time will it take
To salvage all that we lost?
'Cause when you fixed your eyes like a snake
You didn′t contemplate the cost

Did you ever make your decisions
Devoid of pride and without condition?

Did you ever stop to think
Or did you just jump ship when we started sinking?

Oh what a big surprise
You never learnt to compromise
You only ever took your time

Oh what a big surprise
You never opened up your eyes
To everything you left behind

But bit by bit we'll take back all you stole

And now you're standing here before me again

Oh what a big surprise
You never learnt to compromise
You only ever took your time

Oh what a big surprise
You never opened up your eyes
To everything you left behind


But bit by bit we′ll take it back
Bit by bit we′ll take back all you stole
We'll take back all you stole
We′ll take back all you stole
But bit by bit we'll take it back
Bit by bit we′ll take back all you stole
