Title: When Your Ship Sinks, I Hope I'm On It (Jake's Song)
Background: This is a song about my friends relationship with his now ex-girlfriend. I was friends with both of them and heard two sides. I put it in to my perspective, but in his body. He was hung up on this girl for a while. My lyric skills suck, but fuck I love singing this song. I kind of relate to it too, and didn't realize it until I read it a couple of times.
Lyrics:
There's nothing I can do,
helpless, hopeless, trying hard not to lose faith
I have been lying here thinking for hours
Why my life is so messed up these days
The sun doesn't shine anymore
The rain is falling like a tropical storm
The wind is picking up speed
My head is a cluttered mess
Full of everything you said
I'm still as confused as ever
I only want to hear you,
Tell me it's okay
Tell me there's a reason to live
I want to hear your voice in my ear like a song
I want to feel the lips i've been tasting for so long
I want you to hear my yelling when I say
"Be with me"
Like cancer, you make me feel like dying
Sometime's I think my life just might go on
With or without you
Then I notice how much I think about you
I know I am not anything at all
I feel like a man suffocating
The moon doesn't glow anymore
The storm is falling like a shipwreck on the water
The tornado is picking up speed
Tell me it's alright
Tell me it's okay
Tell me there's a reason to live
I want to hear your voice in my ear like a song
I want to feel the lips i've been tasting for so long
I want you to hear my yelling when I say
"Be with me"
Like cancer, you make me feel like dying
Can you guide the ship
that runs straight past your house?
Can you save me now?
I'm drowning under water.
I want to hear your voice in my ear like a song
I want to feel the lips i've been tasting for so long
I want you to hear my yelling when I say
"Be with me"
Like cancer, you make me feel like dying
