Don't want you to see me in the state I'm in
Don't want you to know exactly where I've been
Know I'll be feeling better in a day or two
Then I'm coming 'round to make it up to you
Somebody said the future is brighter
Somebody says with a glint in their eye
Don't want you thinking I'm holding on too tight
Don't want you to think that I'll be out all night
I'm old enough to know that nothing comes for free
All I really want is you next to me
Nobody likes to be left in the darkness
Nobody likes to be pushed to the side
Everybody knows why the ships are sinking
Down and out of towner's are everywhere
And tell why it's got me thinking
Everyone's laughing and no one cares
Don't want you to see me in the state I'm in
(repeated x9)
Tell me why
Tell me why the ships are sinking
Down and out of towner's are everywhere
Tell me why it's got me thinking
Tell me why everyone's laughing and no one cares
Ships are sinking
Everywhere
It's got me thinking
Everyone's laughing and no one cares
Don't want you to know exactly where I've been
Know I'll be feeling better in a day or two
Then I'm coming 'round to make it up to you
Somebody said the future is brighter
Somebody says with a glint in their eye
Don't want you thinking I'm holding on too tight
Don't want you to think that I'll be out all night
I'm old enough to know that nothing comes for free
All I really want is you next to me
Nobody likes to be left in the darkness
Nobody likes to be pushed to the side
Everybody knows why the ships are sinking
Down and out of towner's are everywhere
And tell why it's got me thinking
Everyone's laughing and no one cares
Don't want you to see me in the state I'm in
(repeated x9)
Tell me why
Tell me why the ships are sinking
Down and out of towner's are everywhere
Tell me why it's got me thinking
Tell me why everyone's laughing and no one cares
Ships are sinking
Everywhere
It's got me thinking
Everyone's laughing and no one cares
