As I count the ways
That this Edison lightbulb flatters your face
Think it's funny how
You never notice the little things until it all goes to waste
And if I said I was sorry, would it make it alright?
I'll stay up and lose myself late into the night
As I wonder what could have been, wonder what might
We're just ships on an ocean, blind in the night
Yeah, I guess I was full of it
I guess you were right
This bottle of import
Tastes domestic tonight
As I come to grips with the words that so effortlessly
Escape from your lips
So well rehearsed, I could almost see all of it
In some B-movie script
Where the hero's been wounded, it's the drawn-out goodbye
Since when does it ever take a half-hour to die?
Yeah, I've wondered what could have been, wondered what might
We're two ships on an ocean burning up in the night
ย
And we're all singing the same words to some worn-out refrain
And we're somehow still wondering why it turns out the same
Is it so complicated? These things that we do
You'd think we'd be old enough to start facing the truth
Sure I guess I was full of it
Maybe you were right
We're just ships on an ocean
Burning up in the night
