I thought time would change things
I thought that things would change
I thought you thought i think you thought
But everything is the same
Verse 2
I try to stay between your world and mine
But that's a crooked line
Pre-Chorus 2
And i don't wanna look at you
And i don't wanna have to think
I'll blame the captain and the crew
Cos they said it wouldn't sink….

My mouth seems to be working against me
