[Verse 1]
I was just minding my business
Doing parkour, tryna land a precision
On the side of this fountain
Little kids shouting
Backflip, bouncing
You know how it goes
It was a Sunday
But not a very sunny day
Matter of fact, the sun had gone away when you had come my way
And You had me fooled
By then I should've known that you only bring darkness wherever you go
[Chorus]
I should've known
To stay on my rowboat, pirate ships never stay afloat
Land ahoy, land ahoy
Yeah, you found a young boy and you really tried to force him to grow
Now I'm a man overboard 'cause you said you were bored
I really wasn't ready to get physical
[Refrain]
Only people on your crew are as delusional as you
Should've saw the red flag
[Chorus]
I should've known
To stay on my rowboat, pirate ships never stay afloat
Land ahoy, land ahoy
Yeah, you found a young boy and you really tried to force him to grow
Now I'm a man overboard 'cause you said you were bored
I really wasn't ready to get physical
Should've stayed on my rowboat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
[Post Chorus]
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
[Verse 2]
Stay away from me
I can do this on my own
Don't you dare call my phone
Said you're learning about trade but you really tried to steal
Yeah you thought that we were sealed, huh?
Big deal
You agreed to make it happen, that was fully your decision
You can't modify a guy, that is not how we are living
Yeah, you say I'm too nice and too soft?
What the heck was I to do? Be grateful and take what you're given
If you think I care about some stupid baby hair, you're tripping
Every time you said it wasn't worth it, that was just you fishing
And I told you time and time again I needed more time but you never listened
Man how could I be so naïve?
[Chorus]
I should've known
To stay on my rowboat, pirate ships never stay afloat
Land ahoy, land ahoy
Yeah, you found a young boy and you really tried to force him to grow
Now I'm a man overboard 'cause you said you were bored
I really wasn't ready to get physical
Should've stayed on my rowboat
Pirate ships never stay afloat (Pirate ships never stay afloat)
[Verse 3]
I swam away to the shore
Where I was reassured that I'm not gonna suffer anymore
And that's fine by me 'cause now I can read all the signs if I'm ever getting lured
Into a worthless trap
Go turn on the tap and wash all the makeup off your face
In case you cry, oh my, I know what it's like but it's not gonna crush on your faith
You should've never tried to fake it
Everyone's bluff gets called when they make it
Why work hard if you're gonna cheat?
That's cheap and expensive and you're the one paying
Girl I am not playing
For once in your life overstand what I'm saying
I know that you had lots of plans for me
But I was cowering away and you were running after me
For what it's worth, I'm really sorry that I threw away your fantasy
But what you wanted, overstand, I'm not a worthy nominee
I'm quite dark and cold, I'm not tall
Making hella loud noises, the hype before the fall
All I'll ever have left is my ability to write
Strumming onto my guitar singing melodies at night
I like to skate steep hills and question if I'll survive
Some say I'm a modern day catcher in the rye
That's the perk of being carefree but never too careless
Kinda like Phoebe how you followed me across the street
Like my dead dog
Tryna form me instead of actually accepting the person you got
Find somebody that you love, doesn't have to be romantic
'Cause you and I know that you're tired of the antics
Otherwise you will keep living in a loop, and franticly I'm actually amazed
That you haven't found your way across the maze
Maybe start of by telling your sister you love her
And that you're being well taken care of by your mother
It's all said and done and you'll lose the grudge
You'll lose the grudge
[Chorus]
And now I know
To stay on my rowboat 'cause pirate ships never stay afloat
Land ahoy, land ahoy
Yeah, I'm still a young boy and gradually I'm still gonna grow
If I find a man overboard
I will welcome him aboard and carry him back to the shore
He won't hurt anymore
Draw an X on the gold 'cause pirate ships never stay afloat
[Post Chorus]
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
Pirate ships never stay afloat
[Outro]
Are you ready?
Yeah I am
(Does a sideflip over her)
I didn't die!
