If I’m the one who caused your shipwrecked life
Then hold my hand, run to the fire
And I’ll bear this cross of love
And not for you, and not for me yea
Even though the water’s all around, climbing higher

Oh our ship’s sinking in ruin and I swear
I won’t be long but I won’t let go
So don’t stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not willing to let you go

I booked the passage on a ship I’ve seen
But I lead the land right to the slaughter
We survived the storm somehow
I missed it then, I see it now
It’s a wonder I’m not layin face down in water

Oh our ship’s sinking in ruin and I swear
I won’t be long but I won’t let go
So don’t stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not willing to let you go

Oh our ship’s sinking, I’m sending out a prayer
For ten good reasons you can’t believe
So just stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you leave

Blue sky, I can hear the thunder
These things will drag me under
It’s a wonder I’m not layin face down in water

Oh our ship’s sinking in ruin and I swear
I won’t be long but I won’t let go
So don’t stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not willing to let you go

Oh our ship’s sinking, I’m sending out a prayer
For ten good reasons you can’t believe
So just stop thinking you’re going anywhere
Cause I’m not ready to let you leave

Our ship’s sinking
Oh our ship’s sinking
Our ship’s sinking
Oh our ship’s sinking
