"Ships Passing" lyrics

"Ships Passing"

I'm the last straw broke the camel's back
Yeah
I'm the gray rock when my mind goes black
A needle in the eye of a satellite
I'm holding my breath, just holding my breath

I'm up to my neck and the water's rising
Stone on my chest and my thoughts are violent
Memories fade, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, but I might not make it

Was it something I said?
I got my feelings, right?
Don't wanna lose you again, ships passing in the night
You've got my cards in your hands
Well, can you play 'em right?
Don't wanna lose you again, ships passing in the night
Ships passing in the night

You're the missed call on the telephone
A trace of perfume in the dressing room
When everything here makes me think of you
I'm holding my breath, just holding my breath

You're up to your neck and the water's rising
Stone on your chest and your thoughts are violent
Memories fade, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, but I might not make it

Was it something I said?
I got my feelings, right?
Don't wanna lose you again, ships passing in the night
You've got my cards in your hands
Well, can you play 'em right?
Don't wanna lose you again, ships passing in the night
Ships passing in the night
