The Long Sea

You've always thought the first time
Was that night on the boat
Cramped up in the bottom bunk
While she slept up above

I suppose it's more glamorous
Out at sea under the moon
Instead of pissed at a party
While they laughed downstairs

23 years of foreplay led up to this
But sometimes I envy my friends
Sometimes I see a world of opportunity
And what if it stays out there anchored in the middle of nowhere?

Maybe we should arrange to meet somewhere
You go out with yours, I'll go out with mine
And you always thought the first time was on the boat
And you don't even like boats

I remember when we got one on holiday, all you could say was
"Don't go out too far"
And what if it never comes back
It just stays out there?

All my favourite memories are of you
All the best times were with you
But sometimes I see a world of opportunity
And I envy my friends

23 years of foreplay led up to this
But what if it never comes back?
Don't go out too far
Don't go out too far

Don't go out too far
Don't go out too far
Don't go out too far
Don't go out too far

Don't go out too far
Don't go out too far
Don't go out too far
Don't go out too far

Don't go out too far
Don't go out too far
Don't go out too far
