Sink Ships lyrics

Sunlight falls on your hands as you type

Just something in my head

Standing in this empty space

Your desk is gone

The wall's still dark from where it went

This position is not open now for applicants

The application forms got shredded

There was faulty wording in the documents

I can still hear you laughing

Coming up the rickety stairs

There was laughing as the springtime

Filled your lungs with air

Gray smoke rung out

Like the patches of your hair

Like violets

Like birds inside the bells

I break those prows in the back of my mind

While the sun is out

No, it's still up and the light is shining

It's season's push and pull and all to get us through

Well, my mind is open now

Like the door to an empty room

This position is not open now for applicants

The application forms got shredded

There was faulty wording in the documents

I can still hear you laughing

Coming up the rickety stairs

Laughing as the springtime

Filled your lungs with air

Gray smoke rung out

Like the patches of your hair

Like violets

Like birds inside the bells

If somehow I'd have known

I'd have rather gone down with the ship

Than be without you

If only for the chance to hold your hand

To be your friend

I never got there last time

I would've rather gone down in this

The war is over, the war is over

The war is over

And I'm waiting in the sinking ships

If only I had known

If only I had known
