Melbourne Australia by Squid The Whale Lyrics

We played it cool while we lit up smokes
We kept in common, I was never one for changing dirty clothes
I took a risk and met you at the lips, not a...
Kiss, but a place to exchange short breaths
At my worst times, I turn to a good friend who'd say
"You need to find a dame who's
Actions and words speak the same"

Captain, I think we're going to drown
He says, "Don't worry soldier, I won't let you go down
The anchor keeps us locked at the waist
There is no way this storm can wash us away."

So, THIS IS IT!

I've secured myself a life long live
With a convy of comrades that don't exist
It's a funny thing, talking to yourself
It makes you realize the things you truly miss

Captain, I think we're going to drown
He says, "Don't worry soldier, I won't let you go down
The anchor keeps us locked at the waist
There is no way this storm can wash us away."
[x2]
I've bottled and charted maps and lands
Kept them all in the palm of my hand
Tried to convince myself to stay
But one day, we all will wash away
[x2]

I've bottled and charted maps and lands
("What's it like to be alone your whole life?")
Kept them all in the palm of my hand
(Is there nothing you can do?)
Tried to convince myself to stay
("We're trying to help you)
But one day, we all will wash away
(She simply won't do.")
[x2]
