This is a newer version of Sinking Ships (originally on the All Jokes Aside EP). This is the version we would play live after Stu joined the band.
lyrics
It's 5am and I'm wide awake
Can't you tell that I'm happy to be here
Thank god for Soupy and the boys reminding me
That I won't be pathetic forever
This will be ok
Writing all my problems down in your dashboard dust
Saying I won't be scared
No I'll never be scared
Sometimes I take this life for granted
Being down never meant that I had to stay there
Wake up!
You are worth the time
Breathe in!
Take a deep breath you'll be just fine
Don't wait!
For your moment to come around
You'll find your solid ground
I jump from sinking ship to sinking ship
To prove something to myself that
I'm better than a place sitting on your shelf
All my best friends they say to me
They say to me
That I'm the best I've ever been
Yeah I'm the best I've ever been
You couldn't wipe this smile off of my face
Even if you knocked me out cold
All the shit that I've been through
All the hits I took for you
Are finally coming back around
Wake up!
You are worth the time
Breathe in!
Take a deep breath you'll be just fine
Don't wait!
For your moment to come around
You'll find your solid ground
I jump from sinking ship to sinking ship
To prove something to myself that
I'm better than a place sitting on your shelf
All my best friends they say to me
They say to me
That I'm the best I've ever been
Yeah I'm the best I've ever been
And this will be just fine
I jump from sinking ship to sinking ship
To prove something to myself that
I'm better than a place sitting on your shelf
All my best friends they say to me
They say to me
That I'm the best I've ever been
Yeah I'm the best I've ever been 'cause
I jump from sinking ship to sinking ship
To prove something to myself that
I'm better than a place sitting on your shelf
All my best friends they say to me
They say to me
That I'm the best I've ever been
Yeah I'm the best I've ever been
