Sinking Ship
Jenn Wasner, Andy Stack
[Verse 1}
I wonder who can help us
I sit and count the days
And I keep digging a hole in the ground
When I’d rather be floating away
[Verse 2]
My mother always helped me
But she’s helped me all she can
And I trusted some in a man I loved
But he took it all and ran
[Verse 3]
And my baby is not a baby
But he never left the nest
And I can’t remember
A day when I haven’t
Been worrying about the rest
[Verse 4]
And you take my situation
And you shape it in your hand
But until your ship is sinking
You will never understand
[Outro]
That it’s only temporary
These are temporary gains
And there will always be another
Man you didn’t pay
And there will always be another
Thing you didn’t say
But not another day
