Lyrics
All aboard, you seasick hearts
Falling down to falling apart
Can you hear me?
Those who drift and those who drown
The ones so blind, they run aground
Can you hear me?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I?ve been lost at sea
And I?m never going back
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Deep beneath the waves
The promises unmade
Are the ones you cannot break
All aboard you shipwrecked hearts
From throwing kisses to throwing darts
Can you hear me?
