"Shipwrecks" lyrics

So I sit here at the table
Writing all the things that I'm too scared to say
By the time you find my letter
I imagine I'll be well upon my way

How was I supposed to save you
When I'd never found a way to save myself?
We found each other at the bottom of the sea
But another sunken ship just ain't much help

I watch the highway out the window
And I miss the way you'd laugh at my dumb jokes
And while I don't know where you are now
I'd like to think that you've got life up on the ropes

You don't need to forgive me
I know the bed I've made
I just hope you find yourself
A better heart to break

How were you supposed to save me
When you'd never found a way to save yourself?
We found each other at the bottom of the sea
But just learned another anchor ain't much help

How was I supposed to save you
When I'd never found a way to save myself?
We found each other at the bottom of the sea
But another sunken ship just ain't much help
