[Verse 1]

Waiting for my ship to come

I’m afraid it may have sunk

Waiting our whole lives for apple pie

Then demand another slice

At least I’ve got a good degree

What’s that even mean?

English lit’s essentially horseshit

Taught me to rhyme like an idiot

[Pre-Chorus]

If you can’t do then teach

Or keep staring out to sea

[Chorus]

I’m done pining for a silver lining

Beneath the shadow of my doubt

A rain cloud is a rain cloud

I put away my divining rod

It simply wasn’t panning out

[Verse 2]

Still my thoughts, they tend to drift

I’m afflicted with what ifs

What if I had married and had kids

What if I still did

And when I think my ship might land

I write until my hand cramps

I write of the Titanic swallowed whole

Stuck in Poseidon’s throat

[Pre-Chorus]

Go ahead and wish upon a star

But do you have to wish so hard?

[Chorus]

I’m done pining for a silver lining

Beneath the shadow of my doubt

A rain cloud is a rain cloud

I put away my divining rod

It simply wasn’t panning out

[Outro]

No more dancing around

Or exotic fancies

It’s aiding and abetting, well

A daydream’s just a day dream

But what if my ship’s still at sea?

What if rain clouds have silver linings?
