Ship in the Dock

Tuesday at 2 AM long after you said goodnight

I put the coffee on, strong and I bought me some time

The roses you left me were dead on the desk to my right

A subtle reminder that nothing's designed to survive

Love overcome is a battle half won

The view from both sides of the gun

I'm so afraid to be ready

To change all these locks

To disconnect the dots,

And I just can't take the pain

Although make no mistake

'Cause it's time I untied all the knots

'Cause if there's one thing I know that I'm not

Well that's a ship in the dock

The wind's packing up and I'm looking above for a sign

Your photograph hanging a moment just clinging to life

But I've seen the top of those trees on the opposite side

And if the grass isn't greener

Then I'll know at least that I tried

Cause I won't let myself live in this world of what ifs

But it don't get much harder than this

I'm so afraid to be ready

To change all these locks

To disconnect the dots,

And I just can't take the pain

Although make no mistake

'Cause it's time I untied all the knots

'Cause if there's one thing I know that I'm not

That's a ship in the dock

And I'm so afraid to be ready

To change all these locks

To disconnect the dots,

And I just can't take the pain

Although make no mistake

'Cause it's time I untied all the knots

'Cause if there's one thing I know that I'm not

That's a ship in the dock

I know what I'm not

And that's a ship in the dock
