Sinking Ship Lyrics by The Backseat Lovers

When We Were Friends

2018

[Verse 1]
Drivin' in silence
A trip around the world
Our hands haven't touched in more than a month
In my head there's sirens, warning me of pain
Will this be the night that I make things right?
Or make things wrong
Or make things wrong
Or make things wrong
[Verse 2]
Your eyes used to wander
But now they sit in place
I'm sick of all of the nothing on your face
Did I put the fire out?
Did I walk away?
Did I burn up all the oxygen and throw the rest away?
[Verse 3]
And I don't want to be the ball to your chain
Seems that every time the weather's on our side
I turn it right
Back into rain
[Chorus]
Don't hold back
Don't wait for the night to end
If it's me you're waiting on, then I say spend
Your time on someone else's sinking ship
[Verse 4]
Try to substitute my dreams with you
And you brought me down on the ship
(This ship called life)
[Chorus]
Don't hold back
Don't wait for the night to end
If it's me you're waiting on then I say spend
Your time on someone else's sinking ship
