lyrics

Life is a shipping lane I find my self riding for weeks at a time.
I sometimes sleep through the swells and the saline smells while the seagulls cry
They say it’s all relative it’s all drifting by as I hang in my niche
Overcast skies turn to star-spoiled nights and it makes me feel brief

But you are flotsam floating
Unexpected, unspoiled, and without claim

Life is a sinking ship that keeps plodding along it’s original course
The leak is so slow that you don’t even notice that time’s running out
When you become aware you’ll appreciate, in despair, this precarious spot
You can bail with force but the ship is so large that there’s no keeping up

I’ve been noticing
That it’s all the same
And our beds are made
Except your this thing
That makes it okay

And you are flotsam
Floating
Unexpected
Indeterminate
In a world that is exploiting all the good things
You’re unspoiled
