Launching Ships

I like to read stories from the bottom of the world

Although they've all been told before

You wanna stay twenty-five for a couple more years

But be careful with what you're wishing for

Because in a minute it might be gone

I like to watch stories from the bottom of the world

Because they're truly profound

Is adolescence now decades long

You would think so by looking around

In a minute it might be gone

Falling down, shaking hips

All the time

I like to tell stories from the bottom of the world

I don't care that it's been done before

Just remind yourself that you should try

To care less and sunbathe more

Because in a minute it might be gone

Falling down, shaking hips

Letting go and launching ships

All the time

In a minute it might be gone
