Before This Ship Goes Down Lyrics

-Verse-
Don't kid yourself, you said to me,
We'll pack our bags,
But never leave this room.
We'll never leave this room.
What happened to our plans our dreams?
We buried them on this small street too soon.
Too soon.

-Bridge-
I know you're scared but so am I,
If we never leave then we'll never try.

-Chorus-
You and I want to know what we were,
Hand in hand as unbreakable as stone.
You and I we won't get pulled under,
When the waves crash down we'll stay afloat.
You and I want to know we'll make it,
Sailing out of this Godforsaken town,
Before this ship goes down.

-Verse-
Let's take a chance and leave tonight,
Believe me dear, we'll be alright it's true.
We'll be alright it's true.
Turn the key and take the wheel,
No looking back this time it's real,
With you, yeah, with you.

-Bridge-
I know you're scared but so am I,
If we never leave then we'll never try.

-Chorus-
You and I want to know what we were,
Hand in hand as unbreakable as stone.
You and I we won't get pulled under,
When the waves crash down we'll stay afloat.
You and I want to know we'll make it,
Sailing out of this Godforsaken town.
Before this ship goes down.

-Special-
We won't go down.
This time it's now or never,
Forget the map we've got eachother.
We won't go down.
This time it's now or never,
Let's leave this place forever.

I know you're scared but so am I.

-Chorus-
You and I want to know what we were,
Hand in hand as unbreakable as stone.
You and I we won't get pulled under,
When the waves crash down we'll stay afloat.
You and I want to know we'll make it,
Sailing out of this Godforsaken town.
Before this ship goes down.

You and I want to know what we were,
Hand in hand as unbreakable as stone.
You and I we won't get pulled under,
When the waves crash down we'll stay afloat.
You and I want to know we'll make it,
Sailing out of this Godforsaken town.
Before this ship goes down.
