Shipwrecked (glass Bottom Boats)

As we pulled out the stakes

And put your knee to the wall

You were happy and ready for life

Thought I was tracking your heartbeat

But you were leading me by mine

That's the ignorance of my youth

And I've but little in life

And less that I'm willing to part with

I've been spoiled and I've sweated and starved

I was drawn to this place

Leaving love in my wake

Though it's me who will be left behind

And I was holding my breath, dear

To stave off collapse

My eyes felt like glass bottom boats that had cracked

You lay here and cry without fear of the truth

I was cursing the flaws of my ignorance and youth

As we pulled out the stakes

And put your knee to the wall

You were happy and ready for life

Thought I was tracking your heartbeat

But you were leading me by mine

That's the ignorance of my youth

And I was holding my breath, dear

To stave off collapse

My eyes felt like glass bottom boats that had cracked

You lay here and cry without fear of the truth

I was cursing the flaws of my ignorance and youth
