like ships in the night
you keep passing me by
we're just wasting time
trying to prove who's right
and if it all goes crashing into the sea
if its just you and me trying to find the light

like ships in the night
letting cannon balls flying
say what you mean
and turns to a fight and

fist fly from my mouth
it turns south your down the driveway
and i'm on the couch

chasing dreams
since the violent 5th grade
trying to believe in your silent own way

cause well be ok, i'm not going away
like you watching at fourteen as it went down the drain

and pops stayed the same
and your moms moved away
how many of our parents seemed
to make it anyway
we're just fumbling through the grey
trying find a heart that's not walking away

i turn the lights down low
walk these halls alone
we can feel so far from so close

like ships in the night
you keep passing me by
were just wasting time
trying to prove who's right
and if it all goes crashing into the sea
if its just you and me trying to find the light
like ships in the night
you keep passing me by
you keep passing me by
like ships in the night

and i'm at the airport
waiting on a second plane
had to pack you had cramps and i was late
headed to a red carpet they won't know my name
riding in silence all that we wanna say

about to board when you call on the phone
you said i'm sorry i'll be waiting at home
feels like we're learning this out on our own
trying to find our way down road we don't know

i turn the lights down low
walk these halls alone
we can feel so far from so close

like ships in the night
you keep passing me by
we're just wasting time
trying to prove who's right
and if it all goes crashing into the sea
if it's just you and me trying to find the light
like ships in the night
you keep passing me by
you keep passing me by
like ships in the night

and i'm gonna find my way back to your side
and i'm gonna find my way back to your side
