When The Ship Goes Down Lyrics by ​The Holidays (AUS)

When The Ship Goes Down - EP

2008

Did I catch you in a moment?
Your old boyfriend stands behind
Thinking of excuses
You can use for the second time
I was talking with an old friend
He was trying to help me decide
If flower is still a flower
After all the pedals die
Maybe it was over
Maybe he was trying to find
A way back to your heart
You didn't really seem to mind
So I'll stay on my own
Forget all the people I know
When the ones I don't
Well I'm a reasonable man
I keep my heart in my hand
When the ship goes down
You know I won't be around
You know I won't be around
What happened to the last guy
I heard he wouldn't tell why
When he said I'm sorry
Well you said I tried
Problem with romance
Is that romance tends to die
When it does will you hold hands?
When it does will you cry?
So I'll stay on my own
Forget all the people I know
When the ones I don't
Well I'm a reasonable man
I keep my heart in my hand
When the ship goes down
You know I won't be around
You know I won't be around
I think the ships going down
I think the ships going down
I think the ships going down
