Down with the Ship Lyrics

If my life was a distance
What mile would you claim?
And if my life was a story
How I wish you would explain
All this

If you leave me I will go down with the ship
Your love breaks me right in two
Still that part of you
That just won't quit

If your voice was a siren
With nothing left to sing
Oh, down below broken skylines
I'm still here listening
To this

If you leave me I will go down with the ship
Your love breaks me right in two
Still that part of you
That just won't quit

I've been here under
For the longest time
I'm your restless child
Over state lines
So don't you let me down
For once in your life
We're a-growin' now
Faster than our skin
Lookin' for our fathers
So where have you been?
Don't you let us down
For once in your life
For once in your life

If you leave me I will go down with the ship
Your love breaks me right in two
Still that part of you

If you leave me I will go down with the ship
Your love breaks me right in two
Still that part of you
That just won't quit
