[Verse 1]
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
And words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
[Pre-Chorus]
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
[Chorus]
Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've made it now
[Verse 2]
Falling slowly
Eyes that know me
And I can't go back
And moods that take me
And erase me
And I'll paint it black
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
[Chorus]
Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You had the choice
You've made it now
[Post-Chorus]
One two three four
[Chorus]
Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly
Sing your melody
I'll sing it loud
Loud
