Paddleboat Breakup

歌詞

Tossed about the ocean in boats built for a lake Life is but a dream a stream of beautiful mistakes On a quiet lake so far from the shore We had paddled for an hour Back would be way more She said that's just great What is wrong with you? You wait 'til we're trapped in a boat to tell me we're through? But in the safest dark it had seemed so clear Tell the truth and let the daylight shine Watch the shadows disappear And then the morning came And I couldn't bring myself to say it So we went through all seasons Wrapped in safety vests The bright red sun it seared my soul Her eyes they burned the rest You must really hate me To have planned it out like this You can get us back to the shore I'm not rowing shit And then the questions came With no place to hide Why did I blurt it trapped alone in a boat I rowed against the tide I guess I had all day But I couldn't bring myself to say it So we turned in our vests and headed to our cars She said bye and drove away but mine it would not start And now the sun is setting and everyone has left I'm waiting for the tow truck now and she's just sent a text She says You see, these last few days I've had something big to say How romantic it would be to wait and I could tell you on the lake But then you dropped that bomb And I couldn't bring myself to say it
