Lyrics Brett Young

Brett Young

The Ship and the Bottle

I was made for a dive bar

Usually good for the night

I can sure hold my whiskey

I can hold my wine

You were made for the ocean

The silver water and wind

You're the ship, I'm the bottle

And I don't wanna hold you in

I don't know how you got here

I know they all wonder too

'Cause when they're lookin' at me, girl

They're really lookin' at you

You just might have to break me

To do what you're meant to do

You're the ship, I'm the bottle

And I can't do that to you

I want to stay wrapped around you

But we both know that I can't

So put the breeze in your sails, girl

And sink your toes in the sand

Maybe I'll write you a letter

Maybe I'll keep it inside

Maybe one day you'll get it

While you're out chasin' the tide

I don't know how you got here

I know they all wonder too

'Cause when they're lookin' at me, girl

They're really lookin' at you

You just might have to break me

To do what you're meant to do

You're the ship, I'm the bottle

And I can't do that to you

Ooh, you might just have to break me

And I know you don't want to

You're the ship, I'm the bottle

And I wanna keep you, I do

But you're the ship, I'm the bottle

And I can't do that to you

Mmm (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Sendin' an S.O.S. to the world

(Ooh, ooh, ooh) Mmm

(Ooh, ooh, ooh) Mmm, mmm, mmm

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
