Anchors Away Lyrics
Not waiting for the words to come around
In this small tobacco town
And I'm hating every second of this shit
I'm far too involved to quit
But the radio keeps playing on and on
On and on and on
What in the world were you thinking?
This ship we're sinking is going down
And the water we're taking on
Is too much to bear, too much to bail out
Captain, captain
Please save me, save me
The neatest diver up for hire
And the drunken liars make me want to scream
And I'm jaded by the ones who mean the most
But I'm talking to your ghost
And I'm fading like all the lies you put up with
And the table starts to shift
But the one I love is moving on and on
What in the world were you thinking?
This ship we're sinking is going down
And the water we're taking on
Is too much to bear, too much to bail out
Captain, captain
Please save me, save me
Down to the wire I admire
This talk is tired
It makes me want to see inside her
Smoke and fire
What in the world were you thinking?
This ship we're sinking is going down
And the water we're taking on
Is Is too much to bear, too much to bail out (x2)
I'm sitting on the sidelines
Waiting for the right times
For someone to come and carry me home (x4)
The radio keeps playing on and on
On and on and on
The radio keeps playing on
On and on and on
In this small tobacco town
And I'm hating every second of this shit
I'm far too involved to quit
But the radio keeps playing on and on
On and on and on
This ship we're sinking is going down
And the water we're taking on
Is too much to bear, too much to bail out
Please save me, save me
The neatest diver up for hire
And the drunken liars make me want to scream
But I'm talking to your ghost
And I'm fading like all the lies you put up with
And the table starts to shift
But the one I love is moving on and on
This ship we're sinking is going down
And the water we're taking on
Is too much to bear, too much to bail out
Please save me, save me
Down to the wire I admire
This talk is tired
It makes me want to see inside her
Smoke and fire
This ship we're sinking is going down
And the water we're taking on
Is Is too much to bear, too much to bail out (x2)
Waiting for the right times
For someone to come and carry me home (x4)
On and on and on
The radio keeps playing on
On and on and on

NO ONE COMMENTED!!? My gosh, people. >.<
haha, anyway, I think he's sad of being alone, and wants a friend/girlfriend.
"And I'm jaded by the ones who mean the most But I'm talking to your ghost And I'm fading like all the lies you put up with And the table starts to shift But the one I love is moving on and on"
...maybe he feels like no one pays attention to him, or something. I think he needs someone to talk to, because his "ship is sinking", haha, or he just needs advice.
A lame guess, but you know what I mean. I love this song and band :)
You should too !
I think this song is about him looking for love but everyone is just using him and he's just fed up with bogus relationships.
