1,000 Ships Lyrics by Rachel Platten

Be Here

2011

[Verse 1]
I'd go beyond our fighting borders
If you needed that from me
And I'd march with decorated soldiers
To get your pretty eyes to see
Well, I would bring your morning coffee
Then I'd wrap you up in me
I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders
Cover blankets on our feet
[Pre-Chorus]
So slow down, there's some kind of blessing here
But you have missed your cue
[Chorus]
So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I bet that silver lining
Well, I know it'd find you soon
[Post-Chorus]
‘Cause I have sailed a thousand ships to you
But my messages don't seem to make it through
[Verse 2]
Well, I would bring your morning coffee
Then I'd wrap you up in me (me)
Deedeedee
I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders
Cover blankets on our feet
[Pre-Chorus]
But slow down, there's some sort of blessing here
But you've gone and missed your cue
[Chorus]
So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I bet that silver lining
Well, I know it'll find you soon
[Post-Chorus]
‘Cause I have sailed a thousand ships to you
But my messages don't seem to make it through
[Interlude]
Well, money and fame, they are a losing game
And I know those pretty actresses are calling your name
But I'll be here waiting, I'll always be the same
If you'd let me in again
[Bridge]
Dadadadadada
Hahahahahaha
Dadadadadada
Hahahahahaha
Dadadadadada
Hahahahahaha
Dadadadadada
Hahahahahaha
Dadadadadada
Hahahahahaha
Dadadadadada
Hahahahahaha
[Chorus]
So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I bet that silver lining
Well, I know it'll find you soon
Keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I bet that silver lining
Well, I know it'll find you soon
[Post-Chorus]
Cause I have sailed a thousand ships to you
But my messages don't seem to make it through
[Outro]
Hahahahahaha
Dadadadadada
Hahahahahaha
Dadadadadada
Hahahahahaha
Dadadadadada
Hahahahahaha
