Ships In The Night by Mat Kearney

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night letting cannon balls fly
Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
Fist fly from my mouth as it turns south
You're down the driveway
I'm on the couch
Chasing your dreams since the violent 5th grade
Trying to believe in your silent own way
'Cause we'll be ok
I'm not going away
Like you watched at fourteen
As it went down the drain
And pops stayed the same
And (1)________ moms moved away
How many of our parents
Seem to (2)________ it anyway
We're just (3)________________ (4)______________ the grey
Trying find a heart that's not walking away
Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far from so close
Like ships in the night

You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night

You're passing me by

You're passing me by

Like ships in the night

And I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane
Had to pack and you had cramps and I was late
Headed to a red carpet they won't know my name
Riding in silence all that we wanna say
About to board when you call on the phone
You say "I'm sorry, I'll be (5)______________ at home"
Feels like we're learning this out on our own
Trying to find a way down the road we don't know
Turn the (6)____________ down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far from so close
Like ships in the night

You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to (7)________ the light
Like ships in the night

You're passing me by

You're passing me by

Like ships in the night

And I'm gonna find my way
Back to your side

Like (8)__________ in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just (9)______________ time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night

You're (10)______________ me by

You're passing me by

Like ships in the night
