Intro: 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 from me Verse I found you on the doorstep, it was brave to leave your room Mine is a safe place, I'll not abandon you Or that perfect nuclear family... that I left behind 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 hope that you're not disappointed... that I started again And at that awful backyard party where we stole a bottle of red Hopped a train, we got drunk and just sang songs instead And later on the couch you told me it was the best trip you'd taken 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 from me Verse 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 god damn 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 Wherever you may roam Verse Today's the 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... was the one who needed all the attention And you always take my side in battles that are mine And you say "Will, you fucked 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 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 knowing how much I need you That you can ask anything of me
