Shipboard Cook - Third Eye Blind

I wanna go to the ocean

And send a postcard of my loneliness

Forgetting you is so elusive

I run away but it’s always this

You’re the only one

I love

It’s always been you

And I wish I was conscripted in the Merchant Marines

Shanghaied into service to sails and machines just to stay alive

And my sister keeps it simple she’s a shipboard cook

She can run line, but if you take a look, it’s not easy though

'Cause I’m hoping you will find me

I keep hoping you will find me

Hoping you will find me

I keep hoping you will find me

I’m always a ghost

I tried your gypsy tarot readings, some seance stunt

I keep an open mind but I think it’s just a front

Want to believe it though

My sister says: «Forget her boy, that’s all that you need»

She pitches magical elixirs, potions full of mead for a broken heart

It’s too late for that

And I try to keep it simple

I try to keep it true

It’s always been you

It’s always been you

When you sailor boys brag about the hearts that they broke

It’s all just a joke

It’s all just a boast

Yeah yeah yeah, oh

I’m always a ghost

You’re about as haunted as a darkened basement

I’ve got all the chances of a dog in a settlement

She may have her secrets, she’ll never tell

I ride along without 'em on a deep sea swell

I heard there’s something new, she starts to talk

She’s the merry widow on the widow’s walk

And they say: «What do you fear what are you running from?»

The only thing I fear is when I go numb

And I’m hoping you will find me

I keep hoping you will find me

Hoping you will find me

I keep hoping you will find me

Yeah yeah yeah

And I try to keep it simple

I try to keep it true

It’s always been you

It’s always been you

When you sailor boys brag about the hearts that they broke

It’s all just a joke

It’s all just a boast

Yeah yeah yeah, oh

I’m always a ghost

I’m always a ghost

I’m always a ghost

I’m always a ghost
