Gonna sink this ship tonight
Gonna see if hope really floats
I got a feeling that it doesn't
The water's reaching for your thighs
The way you panic, well, it's turning me on

You make it hard to swim away
You look so good, we're freaking out

Come on and take me on a sinking ship
What's death without a smile
I still want you on the bottom of the ocean
Watch me bury the ground after you get yours
You're only out for one thing

I made peace with where I stand
I'm the cut underneath your heels
But as you gotta be
Do you believe in miracles?
'Cause tonight we resurrect the dead

You make it hard to swim away
You look so good, we're freaking out

Come on and take me on a sinking ship
What's death without a smile
I still want you on the bottom of the ocean
Watch me bury the ground after you get yours
You're only out for one thing

And tonight, I rock amongst all that you did
Make me a mess, make me a mess
We'll dig on the bottom of the ocean
We'll dance, we'll dance, we'll dance

Come on and take me on a sinking ship
What's death without a smile
I still want you on the bottom of the ocean
Watch me bury the ground after you get yours
You're only out for one thing

Come on and take me on a sinking ship
What's death without a smile
I still want you on the bottom of the ocean
Watch me bury the ground after you get yours
You're only out for one thing

    it's such a dark song but it's so good. and it's supposed to be "you look so good when you're freaking out" david ryan (singer) said that to me.

    idk i know it says that the lyrics are "what's dead without a smile" but "what's death without smile?" makes so much more sense.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
