"My Ship" lyrics

"My Ship"

It's been a long time
Since I saw you
Where've you been?
Man, you grew

I've been hanging by a thread
Night is young, you're here instead
Of the places you should be
Would you even know it's me?

You've come a long way
You've changed your name
I come here every day
And nothing's changed

I've been losing all my bets
Living with a few regrets
Oh, the time, it seemed so free
Would you even recognize me?

At night's first call
It's happy hour
Gazing from
My lonely tower

I've been waiting for my ship
Yours came fast and you left quick
Without a glance, not a word
And I know you won't return

It's been a long time
