“Ships + Tides” is the 14th track of the deluxe edition to OneRepublic’s fifth studio album, Human.
According to Ryan during a YouTube Premium livestream, the song, “Ships,” was in the works since 2016 and he describes it as very existential. The lyrics illustrate a conversation between man and God...
[Verse 1]
I just lost the feeling that I had today
Do all these good times come and go away?
Tell me something that I could say
Sometimes I just want to walk away
[Pre-Chorus]
And I begin to understand
Ships can sink or rise
[Chorus]
But I'm standing here tonight
And I'm knocking on your door
I'll be anything you like
If you can tell me what I'm here for
Do we go on, and on, and on, and on?
Do we go on, and on, and on, and on?
[Verse 2]
I just asked some questions that I've never had
Does who we are fade out like a photograph?
'Cause if I could, I'd do it all again
The good times, bad times, sink or swim
[Pre-Chorus]
And, yes, I finally realized
Ships can sink and rise
[Chorus]
But I'm standing hеre tonight
And I'm knocking on your door
I'll be anything you like
If you can tеll me what I'm here for
Do we go on, and on, and on, and on?
Do we go on, and on, and on, and on?
[Interlude]
(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)
[Chorus]
But I'm standing here tonight
And I'm knocking on your door
I'll be anything you like
If you can tell me what I'm here for
Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? (Oh-oh)
Do we go on, and on, and on, and on? (Oh-oh)
[Outro]
I just lost the feeling that I had today
Do all these good times come and go away?
