lyrics

Battleship at our House

Cloud tries to make a plan
it fails, gets blown to pieces
we’re so thankful for the wind in our sails
as this trip will teach us
that I try to tip my hat
when you catch on to my scent
and I make your dandelion crowns
worth your while
tied together by the rules that I’ve bent

I wanna get this right with you
Just leave a list, I’ll see what I can do

Bad blood knows its way around
when there’s glass between our bodies
but take that partition down
ask that pretty boy why he just won’t be naughty
drop, drip, drop anchor on the floor
battleship slips into your port
but when you wash up on that other shore
your bed will be one boy short

I wanna get this right with you
Just leave a list, I’ll see what I can do

Well I have got a name that I’m keeping
safe in my mouth
I held it in reserve for blame
so it’s used to catching a ride
on the wake of my shout
Hey look I made a storm
it’s blowing us off course
what are we even doing out here at sea?
Whatever happened to me?

I wanna get this right with you
And I’ve got your list, let’s see just what I do
