First time I saw you, I was drunk and broken hearted
You were only 18, I was pushing 23
Your blue eyes like a lighthouse
on that dark de-serrated shore
And I am just a broken ship at sea
So I grabbed your hand and we went outside walking
There was cheap beer on your breath and in your cup
And that promenade in an empty parking lot
Was the only slow dance I never f**ed up
You pull me down to the bottom of everything
Pull me down, where I don't feel a thing
And I don't know how far we'll go
But tonight I'll stand with you
Well the winter wind cut through me like the sails of tall ships sailing
And I was run around at the mercy of your storm
We were tangled up like Christmas lights
on the hood of that white car
I never found it easier to stay warm
But like a broken home, our evening came crashing
Crashing down like the body waves, it all came to an end
I felt just useless as a bible in a hotel room
I guess every man must answer for his sins
You're pulling me down to the bottom of everything
You're pulling me down where I don't feel a thing
And I don't know how far we'll go
But tonight I'll stand with you
And your blue eyes like a lighthouse
on that dark de-serrated shore
And I am just a broken ship at sea
I am just a broken ship at sea
Oh Lord, I am just a broken ship at sea
