Two Ships

Found a Polaroid picture

In the back of a bathroom drawer

We both look so different

It’s like I don’t even know us no more

I remember that day, those waves

Our names written down by the shore

We were both feet in, we were sink or swim

We were both on board

How’d we go from always on the phone to deafening silence

How’d we get from every sunset to living on our own damn island

I was your lifeline, you were mine

Like guiding lights in the dead of night

How’d we go from three little words rolling right off of our lips

To two ships

It all happened so slowly

Then it happened baby all at once

Was it holding on way too closely

Or death by a thousand paper cuts

How’d we go from always on the phone to deafening silence

How’d we get from every sunset to living on our own damn island

I was your lifeline, you were mine

Like guiding lights in the dead of night

How’d we go from three little words rolling right off of our lips

To two ships

Passing in the hallway

Nothing left to say

How’d we go from always on the phone to deafening silence

How’d we get from every sunset to living on our own damn island

I was your lifeline, you were mine

Like guiding lights in the dead of night

How’d we go from three little words rolling right off of our lips

To two ships

To two ships

How’d we go from three little words rolling right off of our lips

To two ships
