the grammar of a sinking shipnnnnwell it's so unfair for younnand it's so unfair of mennto be swaying back and forthnni'm a lot more saw than seennand i am more gone than goingnni'm more past than i am presentnni left or i am leavingnnthe tense makes little differencennnncause it's the meaning of the wordnnthat really matters morennit's the action of the verbnni was tearing then i torennyour heart right out of placennand sent it out to seannno captain or a first matennto guide back to mennnnbut i pulled up on the drawbridgenni hoped the ships would passnnbut metal scraped on metanni knew this song would be our lastnni tried to call and save younnwhen i realized what i'd donennbut only the gods could have saved younnand then my dear, you were gone....nnnnand the clearance was too lownni'd waited too longnnand everything went undernnand all the siren songs nncouldn't tempt you into jumpingnnyou were already overboardnnchoking on our memoriesnnwhile i refused to cut the cordnn nnbut i pulled up on the drawbridgenni hoped the ships would passnnbut metal scraped on metanni knew this song would be our lastnni tried to call and save younnwhen i realized what i'd donennbut only the gods could have saved younnand then my dear, you were gone....
