lyrics

Let’s build a boat we can sail away from here
I’ve got soul in my sail driven by fear
A fear of staying in the same place, going nowhere
Let’s build a boat and paddle hard from this shore
I’ve got nothing to lose and all to live for
And lately I haven’t been doing much living here anymore

I want to live and I want to learn
How to love somebody who’ll love me in turn
I want to see the world and see myself grow
I want to know that my life’s living for

Let’s build a boat and just fill it with ourselves
I’ll pack everything in boxes and keep them on the shelves
Cause I don’t mind leaving anything behind
I’ll I need in this boat is a paper and pen
My guitar and some sort of destination
And maybe I can find a new beginning

I want to live and I want to learn
How to love somebody who’ll love me in turn
I want to see the world and see myself grow
I want to know that my life’s living for
I’m done with the same old story
I won’t watch my reflection get boring
I’ll shatter this mirror and be out of here by morning

I’ll meet you at the docks
Just before ten o’clock
Because I’m leaving with the sunshine
And I can’t wait for you this time

I want to live and I want to learn
How to love somebody who’ll love me in turn
I want to see the world and see myself grow
I want to know that my life’s living for
