I felt like a runaway
when I stood outside Jim's house
I thought that maybe with all of this I have been overreacting
or maybe, you save me
If I die waiting for my ship to come in
I just hope your ship comes in
and I'm sorry for wasting your time
She finished the book and laid down in her bed
She was lonely reading comics feeling lost in her head
And I'd break through any window and save her if I could
I would run though any fire and I'm thinking I should
I should just cut all my losses and reside to the truth
This whole time I've been searching, I've been searching for you.
And I discovered something I should never ignore
I now know what I'm hear for
Last night she slept alright
She turned down the boy she turned off the lights
She never expected he would put her back in that place
But maybe, shes crazy
If I die waiting for my ship to come in
I just hope your ship comes in
and I'm sorry for wasting your time
I should just cut all my losses and reside to the truth
This whole time I've been searching, I've been searching for you.
And I discovered something I should never ignore
I now know what I'm hear for
I had to write a song
I had to let you know
They don't make girls like you anymore
They don't make kids like me anymore
So lets go get it while its good
We'll get it while its good
