Mat Kearney - Ships In The Night Lyrics

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 letting cannon balls fly
Say what you mean and turns to a fight
And fist fly from my mouth, it turns south
You're down the driveway, I'm on the couch

Chasing your dreams since the violent 5th grade
Trying to believe in your silent own way
'Cause we'll be okay, 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 gray
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
Just 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
Passing me by, like ships in the night

I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane
Had to pack and 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 the 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 passing me by
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

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 passing me by
Passing me by, like ships in the night
