[Verse 1]

If I don't run away right now

Then I will never leave this shithole town

But I was voted back in school to succeed

Now I'm sitting here every night reading

The same poems that you wrote for me

And I was crying because I feel lonely

My mum ran when she had to

I never return what I steal

I hated going to prom with her

I probably should have taken you

But I'm an asshole, asshole yeah

At least according to your friends

But I love the way you smell tonight

And I love the way this sounds alright

[Chorus]

But we can only drown ourselves so quickly

I was running on the shore so maybe

There's water in my lungs I can't breathe

And the ship is going down with me

So you can shut up shut up yeah yeah

And you can take this like a man

Because a captain knows

That what a captain does

Is between him and his friends

And his friends

And his friends

And his friends

[Verse 2]

And we were stealing ’cause we’re bored

Not because we needed food

And I was running with the wolves

Because I think that they like you

But I will screw up, screw up

I will fuck up, fuck up

But I will take back what is mine

And will screw up, screw up

I will fuck up, fuck up

But I will take back what is mine

What is mine

What is mine

[Chorus]

But we can only drown ourselves so quickly

I was running on the shore so maybe

There's water in my lungs I can't breathe

And the ship is going down with me

So you can shut up shut up yeah yeah

And you can take this like a man

Because a captain knows

That what a captain does

Is between him and his friends

And his friends

[Uh, my friend Ryan, his life fucking sucks, so I just wrote it about how he fucked up a lot in college and afterwards, all the shit that he’s gone through and where he’s at now. It’s pretty good, I wrote everything in like a week, so I’m pretty happy with it, other than it sucks.]

[Yeah, I guess we’ll just see what happens.]
