Sink Ships

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sunlight falls on your hands As you type, just something in my head Standing in this empty space Your desk is gone, the wall's still dark from where it went [Pre-Chorus] This position is not open now for applicants The application forms got shredded There was faulty wording in the documents [Chorus] I can still hear you laughing, coming up the rickety stairs There was laughing as the springtime filled your lungs with air Gray smoke rung out like the patches of your hair Like violets, like birds inside the bells [Verse 2] I break those prows in the back of my mind While the sun is out, no, it's still up and the light is shining It's season's push and pull and all to get us through Well, my mind is open now like the door to an empty room [Pre-Chorus] This position is not open now for applicants The application forms got shredded There was faulty wording in the documents [Chorus] I can still hear you laughing, coming up the rickety stairs Laughing as the springtime filled your lungs with air Gray smoke rung out like the patches of your hair Like violets, like birds inside the bells [Bridge] If somehow I'd have known I'd have rather gone down with the ship Than be without you, if only for the chance To hold your hand, to be your friend I never got there last time I would've rather gone down in this The war is over, the war is over, the war is over And I'm waiting in the sinking ships [Outro] If only I had known If only I had known
