Phantom Planet – Ship Lost At Sea

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!
