Missed The Boat LRC歌词

[00:00.000] 作词 : Brock

[00:42.63]While we're on the subject

[00:44.01]Could we change the subject now?

[00:46.38]I was knocking on your ears

[00:47.94]Don't worry, you were always out

[00:51.53]Looking towards the future

[00:53.85]We were begging for the past

[00:55.54]Well we knew we had the good things

[00:57.91]But those never seemed to last

[00:59.97]Oh please just last

[01:01.54]

[01:09.97]Everyone's unhappy

[01:11.27]

[01:12.27]Everyone's ashamed

[01:14.08]Well we all just got caught looking

[01:16.14]

[01:16.70]At somebody else's page

[01:18.08]

[01:19.08]Well nothing ever went

[01:20.33]

[01:21.46]Quite exactly as we planned

[01:23.33]Our ideas held no water

[01:24.52]

[01:25.58]But we used them like a damn

[01:28.77]

[01:30.33]Oh, and we carried it all so well

[01:33.27]

[01:35.64]As if we got a new position

[01:38.33]Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell

[01:42.46]

[01:44.27]Saying yes, this is a fine promotion

[01:47.89]Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell

[01:51.45]

[01:54.27]Of course everyone goes crazy

[01:57.83]Over such and such and such

[02:00.46]We made ourselves a pillar

[02:02.64]We just used it as a crutch

[02:04.70]We were suddenly uncertain

[02:06.96]At least I'm pretty sure I am

[02:09.52]Well we didn't need the water

[02:11.52]But we just built that go god damn

[02:14.21]

[02:14.90]Oh, and I know this all myself

[02:18.71]

[02:21.77]I stood in front for all the people

[02:24.71]Oh, and I know this all myself

[02:27.52]

[02:30.71]We listen while life hangs on

[02:33.46]

[02:35.08]And the sound of life's sweet bliss

[02:37.90]

[03:00.90]Was it ever worth it?

[03:02.96]Was there all that much to gain?

[03:05.15]Well we knew we missed the boat

[03:07.46]And we'd already missed the plane

[03:09.02]

[03:10.27]We didn't read the invite

[03:11.90]We just dance at our wake

[03:14.21]All our favorites were playing

[03:16.27]So we could shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

[03:19.65]Tiny curtains open

[03:21.09]and we heard the tiny clap of little hands

[03:23.27]A tiny man would tell a little joke

[03:26.09]and get a tiny laugh from all the folks

[03:28.58]Sitting drifting around in bubbles

[03:29.83]and thinking it was us that carried them

[03:32.14]

[03:32.71]When we finally got it figured out

[03:34.96]that we had truly missed the boat

[03:36.71]

[03:38.27]Oh, and we carried it all so well

[03:41.96]

[03:44.33]As if we got a new position

[03:46.90]Oh, and we owned all the tools ourselves

[03:50.40]

[03:53.71]But not the skills to make a shelf with

[03:56.40]Oh, what useless tools ourselves

[04:01.27]
