"Steady As She Goes" lyrics

"Steady As She Goes"

Count me in and count me out
Riddled with expansive doubt
Every word I fight about
Steady as she goes

Constantly I reexplain
Patience one can hardly feign
Worsening with each refrain (of)
Steady as she goes

Tragic tales of history
Sinking their teeth into the skin that covers me
Paring off for all to see
I’m starting to start again

Fevered hands of harvest moon
Spent an autumn afternoon
Wishing that I were immune
Steady as she goes

Sorting through what isn’t mine
Every thing becomes a sign
Rotting heir looms on the vine (and)
Steady as she goes

Fragile flaws of syzygy
Narrowed until there’s nothing left inside of me
Parasympathetically
I’m starting to start again

Nothing loved will ever last
And every perfect moment blows right past
If I could slow it down
Would it feel the same?

Can you wait a minute?
Steady as she goes
I’m still swimming in it
Steady as she goes
Can you wait a minute?
Steady as she goes
I’m still swimming in it
Steady as she goes
