Tell the captain tell him quick / We’re going down and we’re sinking quick, oh yea, oh yea / Alert the coast, alert the press / We’re going down on a sinking ship / Oh yea, oh yea / S O S, we’re on a sinking ship. / Tell the captain tell him quick / We’re going down and we’re sinking quick, oh yea, oh yea / Alert the coast, alert the press / We’re going down on a sinking ship / Oh yea, oh yea / S O S / We’re on a sinking ship.

Remember we were lying naked, thinking that we're alright for once? / Drifting in and out of nowhere / Knowing you were alright for once? / Then we were young and wasted / Vulnerable and complacent / We just begun to waste ourselves / Your sister outside in the garden / Playing with fire wond'ring where the stars are all night. / Your mother in the kitchen / Looking at your father's picture all night. / Then we were young and wasted / Vulnerable and complacent / We just begun to waste ourselves.

I don’t really know / Exactly how this usually goes / It seems quite strange to me / The way you speak so casually / There you stand, when I know firsthand / That you must feel contempt / You fill the air with a speech prepared / And act like we’ve never met. / What the hell am I supposed to do? / What the hell am I supposed to say? / What the hell am I supposed to do? / Tell me what am I to do? / Well maybe I’ve made a mistake / In thinking your character might break / Your words make it all to clear / You’d rather be anywhere than here. / What the hell am I supposed to do? / What the hell am I supposed to say? / What the hell am I supposed to do? / Tell me what am I to do? / I don’t really know / Exactly how this usually goes / It seems quite strange to me / The way you speak so casually. / What the hell am I supposed to do? / What the hell am I supposed to say? / What the hell am I supposed to do, when I’m still in love with you?

I sold my guitars to find my way back home / On a win way ticket on the red eye from Buffalo / My face obscured by a three week growth / With a bag of unread books tucked below / Well the record deal didn’t ever come / And all my dreams they came undone / I hope I… I hope I don’t become undone. / When I was younger I almost lost my mind / Trying to figure out what do before I die / Should I hold on to these dreams until I find / Another addiction to occupy my time / Well the record deal didn’t ever come / And all my dreams they came undone / I hope I… I hope I don’t become undone. / All I ever do seems wrong / I don’t know what I want / Only what I need / And all my life’s a wrecking ball / Changing everything / I tried to ever be.

I remember boots of leather / And the radio playing Jazz Songs / She wore a hat that her mother made her / And her skirt hung just above her knees / With shoulders shrugging and mouths tightening / She was timid, pale and sweet / In an endless summer after a worn out winter / The cab would drop her at the top of my Street / Oh, what a beautiful night / Oh oh what a beautiful night / I was awkward, a bit too pensive / A boy who thought he was a man / A forgotten son deemed a no-good one / Cast in a drama of my own / She painted pictures of things remembered / Before her brother's left their home / I was strumming, always strumming / The chords to forgotten songs / Oh what a beautiful night / Oh what a beautiful night / I was just a no-good boy who / Found a way into her world / But I miss when we first kissed / Trapped in the American night
