And all that I wanted for christmas is to be told that u loved me
part of me knows that u need it but cant say it and
I dont know why but im lonely on all these long drives
cause were always fucking
but u never tell me why.
So I plan to leave dry land and never set foot on it again
sail until I meet the worlds end
and I wont be frightened of all the creatures that threaten
my fragile hull from the deep
and all the dark corners and all the dark bedrooms in both of our eyes.
I will give my life for a moment of silence
I know my family hears me singin my sad and simple songs
and I hope they will carry me
like a ship over oceans of tired and blurried eyes boys
and girls who will listen
and understand I am sorry
GF# [1,2,3,4]
that I cannot give them anything anything more.
I will leave the dark
follow this compass that you gave me
feel like Columbus out to discover our new land
you said that u wanted to plant a garden
it could be our eden you said
and I will play captain
stare at the future through my looking glass as we fall
off of the corners of all the maps
and tattoos on my arm are proud like a sailors
and this lump in my throat is from the cold
and the artic not because
I miss you now.
Bridge 2
End with verse 2
