Ship Lost At Sea

Phantom Planet


Hey! 
Arms of the ocean reach out for you! 
Rusty pipes 
Can't help calling for you too! 
The brine is finer than wine, 
But be careful not to drink too much, 
'Cause there are remains on the bottom of that cup. 
If you fear you've had enough 
Of that salty stuff, 
I'm on the beach 
Reading a book. 
Lost in a page. 
Lost for an age. 
I could be your bonfire 
And you could be my ship out at sea 
Look, 
I'm not after your charity 
And My Dear, I don't want you pleased with yourself . 
What is that feeling of pride - 
When you throw your coin in a beggar's cap? 
Selfless acts are quite selfish when you think about 'em like that! 
But I've been thinking of you 
And how to improve. 
'Cause I'm in a fix 
And your heart is tool. 
Help someone who's close! 
Could be me, right? 
Who knows? 
You could be my handout, 
And I'd be your good deed for the day - 

I want a puzzle I don't have to beat 
A watch I don't have to wind 
I really want to find your missing piece 
And make it 
Mine all mine all mine! 

So If you're hopeless and beat, 
Lower than your feet, 
Or up to your neck, 
Or down on your knees, 
In way to deep, 
And out of ideas 
I can be your brainchild, 
If you promise to take care of me. 
Whoa. 
I could be your bonfire 
And you could be my ship out at sea! 
I can be your boyfriend 
And you can pretend not to know me!
