the smith street band - my little sinking ship lyrics

you’re my little sinking ship
not quite built to hold such weight
we were raised for the suburbs
but we took to the waves
and you carry me around
from little town to little town
never knowing how much i need
never asking a thing of me

i found you on the doorstep, it was brave to leave your room
mine is a safe place, i have not abandoned you
or that perfect nuclear family that i left behind
and now i’m paying too much rent so you buy me some incense
you said you were proud when i stopped smoking cigarettes
and i hoped that your not disappointed that i started again
and at that awful backyard party where we stole a bottle of red
hopped a train and we got drunk and just sang songs instead
and later on the couch you told me it was the best trip you’d taken

sorry you had to hide from the bouncers at my show
i organized an all ages one, just so you could go
and i wrote this song an hour before to try and make you smile
and liz, do not look up to me, i am a drunken mess;
you’re so godd-mn creative, a real force to be reckoned with
and i will say with all my heart and soul
that i’ll follow you wherever you may roam
you may roam

today’s a family day so we’ll spend it together
don’t tell mum and dad but you’re my favourite family member
you always were the good child, i, the one who needed all of the attention
and you always take my side in battles that are mine;
and you say: “wil, you f-cked up,” and i promise that i won’t next time
and even though we both know i’m going to
i know you’ll be on my side
oh, ’cause
