lyrics

Well I know that you’re a big ship
Got lots of people onboard
Yes I know that you’re a big ship
Got lots of people onboard
And they’re partying like rock stars
While all your friends are back here on the shore

I know that you’re a big ship
Can’t even turn yourself around
I know that you’re a big ship
Can’t even turn yourself around
And I’m tired of being your tugboat
Dragging the mess back home every time that you fall down

Oh
You know I’ve tried and tried
Oh
But you’ll never be satisfied
Until another piece of your heart has died

I know that you’re a big deal
That’s just what you want to be
I know that you’re a big deal
That’s just what you want to be
But I can still remember those dreams you used to have
And how you buried them all at sea

They say that you’re unsinkable
Won’t you turn your head and see what’s going on
They say that you’re unsinkable
Why don’t you turn your head and see what’s going on
‘Cause by the time you see that iceberg
You’re going to call for me but I will be
Long, long gone

Oh
You know I’ve tried and tried
Oh
But you’ll never be satisfied
I think a piece of my heart just died
