lyrics

Verse 1

Wakened by the wind that carried dust into your eyes, you were weary for a while, but now you’re up.

Kicking up the leaves and soaking in the morning light, you breath heavy, but less labored than at night.

Chorus

And it hurts for you to think, that all you packed into this ship could sink.
It hurts for you to think that all you packed into this ship could sink.
And If I had an answer for you, I wouldn’t delay my dearest of friends.

Verse 2

You throw away your books and you make your bed ten times, and I can almost see my face shine on your floor.

Do you remember when we tried to write that funny song? If I could only go back there I’d make you strong.

Chorus

And it hurts for you to think, that all you packed into this ship could sink.
It hurts for you to think that all you packed into this ship could sink.
And If I had an answer for you, I wouldn’t delay my dearest of friends.
