Intro: x4 verse 1: Boat on a hill never going to sea Anchored to a fixer upper's dream This boat is beat never gonna be a boat now Thirsty sees the sea from high on ice plant Refrain: He keeps patching it and painting Thinking about his pension plan But the boat is out to pasture Seems it never had a chance I wanna be a boat I wanna learn to swim Then I'll learn to float Then begin again I wanna be a boat I wanna learn to swim Then I'll learn to float Then begin again Begin again verse 2: Boat remembers the carpenter's sure hand Missing fishy flutter on it's rudder Sold at an auction on a dolly ever since Sometimes rainy days drop boyish wonder (Repeat Refrain) I wanna be a boat I wanna learn to swim Then I'll learn to float Then begin again I wanna be a boat I wanna learn to swim Then I'll learn to float Then begin again (hold) Begin again
