Before This Ship Goes Down

"Don't kid yourself," you said to me

We'll pack our bags but never leave this room

We'll never leave this room"

What happened to our plans, our dreams?

We buried them on this small street too soon, too soon

I know you're scared, but so am I

If we never leave, then we'll never try

You and I want to know what we were

Hand in hand, as unbreakable as stone

You and I, we won't get rolled under

When the waves crash down, we'll stay afloat

You and I want to know we'll make it

Sailing out of this God forsaken town

Before this ship goes down

Let's take a chance and leave tonight

Believe me, dear, we'll be all right, it's true

We'll be all right, it's true

Turn the key and take the wheel

No looking back, this time it's real, with you

Yeah, with you

I know you're scared, but so am I

If we never leave, then we'll never try

You and I want to know what we were

Hand in hand, as unbreakable as stone

You and I, we won't get rolled under

When the waves crash down, we'll stay afloat

You and I want to know we'll make it

Sailing out of this God forsaken town

Before this ship goes down

We won't go down

This time it's now or never

Forget the map, we've got each other

We won't go down

This time it's now or never

Let's leave this place forever

I know you're scared, but so am I

You and I want to know what we were

Hand in hand, as unbreakable as stone

You and I, we won't get rolled under

When the waves crash down, we'll stay afloat

You and I want to know we'll make it

Sailing out of this God forsaken town

Before this ship goes down

You and I want to know what we were

Hand in hand, as unbreakable as stone

You and I, we won't get rolled under

When the waves crash down, we'll stay afloat

You and I want to know we'll make it

Sailing out of this God forsaken town

Before this ship goes down
