A Ship That Shared Your Name - Burn The Ballroom

I got the lifeboat down alone

The water chilled me to my bones

I slowly rowed myself to shore

'Cause you didn’t want me anymore

I watched the ship into the sea

With all hands lost but me

It was a ship that shared your name

Mm-hmmm

I woke up shakin' in the sand

The flag was still clutched in my hand

I could see nothing through the smoke

And I cried to God, «Is this some sick joke?»

'Cause I was a kid upon the sea

But all you got was me

It was a ship that shared your name

Mm-hmmm

And all of these things I have done

What is this madness that I have become

Hold on, please be brave, it’s my soul I must say

And I know I will swim home starting tomorrow

I fought the tides and battled waves

The waters beat me down for days

I found the figurehead and knew

The gods were guiding me to you

I held the splinters of a ghost

And swam out for the coast

It was a ship that shared your name

Mm-hmmm

And all of these things I have done

What is this madness that I have become

Hold on, please be brave, it’s my soul I must say

And I know I will swim home starting tomorrow

I sent my love into the deep

With promises I couldn’t keep

But if my heart is true, I will find some way to you

To make my way back home

Oh, oh

And all of these things we have done

Is part of this madness that we have become

Hold on, please be brave, it’s my soul we must say

And now I will swim home starting tomorrow
