lyrics

ships are meant to sail boy
and yours will have its day
i’m coming here to tell you
i’ve got some things to say
oh i’ve got some things to say

it’s always good to see you
i love to watch you shine
and i love to be the quiet
i know you need sometimes
oh i know you need some time

but some other day
some other life
we’ll take all these chances
and make them all right
when love is a language
i can’t figure out
could you be with the one
that you can’t be without

ships are meant to sail boy
you’ll make it from these shores
home is just an island
and i’m wishing i was yours
oh i’m wishing i was yours

i take you as you are
you’re always on your own
i hold you when you let me
and leave the rest alone
oh leave well enough alone

but some other day
some other life
we’ll take all these chances
and make them all right
when love is a language
i can’t figure out
could you be with the one
that you can’t be without

could you be with the one
that you can't be without

you will find my heart
in a boat beside the bay
but i’ve lingered long enough
and now i best be on my way
oh i’ve lingered long enough
and now i best be on my way
