lyrics

Waiting for my ship to come.
I'm afraid it may have sunk.
We're waiting our whole lives for apple pie
then demand another slice.
Still, I've got a good degree, but what's that even mean?
English Lit's essentially horse shit,
taught me to rhyme like an idiot.

If you can't do then teach,
or keep staring out to sea.

I'm done pining for a silver lining;
beneath the shadow of my doubt
a rain cloud is a rain cloud.
I put away my divining rod,
it simply wasn't panning out.

Still, my thoughts they tend to drift,
I'm afflicted with what-ifs.
"What if I had married and had kids?"
What if I still did.
And when I think my ship might land,
I write 'til my hand cramps:
I write of a Titanic swallowed whole,
stuck in Poseidon's throat.

Go ahead and wish upon a star,
but do you have to wish so hard?

'Cause I'm done pining for a silver lining.
Beneath the shadow of my doubt
a rain cloud is a rain cloud.
I put away my divining rod,
it simply wasn't panning out.

No more dancing around quixotic fancies.
it's aiding and abetting
when a daydream's just a daydream.
But what if my ship's still at sea?

What if rain clouds have silver linings?
