about

Danny wrote this song, it was originally recorded on our first album, "rocky" with 12 string guitar and violin accompaniment, as the band changed we began performing it live in different styles and decided to record it again, updated with some new lyrics and a dancey feel. If you like the theme and subject matter of this song I highly recommend "Spitting Venom" by thoughtless.

lyrics

The lyrics are delivered with a stutter for rhythmic effect, but I have typed them more simply for ease of reading.
I can't shake the feeling that
this ship is slowly sinking but
I wont excite the others because
there's not a thing that we can do
I can't shake the feeling that you will
shake this feeling and move on before I'm ready but
there's not a thing that we can do.

so I'll lay awake and watch you breathing and
I'll know that soon enough you will be leaving but
there's nothing I can do short of retreating so
I'll put my arms around you and keep on sleeping.

Close your eyes to the lies we tell
yeah, if we try we could convince ourselves
to stay here at least until the dawn
a lover that's leaving
is better than a lover that's gone
Don't go let's keep pretending like we
don't know this is ending oh and
I'll stay, if you'll let me but
there's not a thing we can do

(chorus) x 2

you're dancing with him but looking at me. Is this a test?
Step out side where I can see my breath and feel in my pocket
your packet of cigarettes, this town is to small to get lost in.
It's 3 AM I'm locked outside your dorm
your friend let me in and took me up to your floor
you were asleep but your door was unlocked with a note for me.
I guess that says something.

I can't shake the feeling that this ship is slowly sinking.
