Ships on the Sea Lyrics

Tragedy is coming for you,
And it's coming for me
Baby is it destiny?
We have trouble believing
It's meant to be

Don't miss the forest around
For the trees on the ground

Is it hard to believe?
When the wind blows
We're falling like leaves
Do you feel like we're free?
Because the truth is
We're just ships on the sea

Hang around
Hold to the moment
Let it carry you down
Babe you've gotta hang around
And drink in the tragic
With the hope that I've found

You can't see a line in the clouds
When you're drifting about

Is it hard to believe?
When the wind blows
We're falling like leaves
Do you feel like we're free?
Because the truth is
We're just ships on the sea

Tell me the truth now love
Tell me I'm all mixed up
Tell me the true now love
Tell me that I've lost my head
And made it up

Let it be
The ache in my soul
Well it's old news to me
Let it be

Is it hard to believe?
Because the truth is
We're just ships on the sea

Are you drifting like me?
Because the truth is
We're just ships on the sea

The Writing on the Wall

Tragedy is coming for you,
And it's coming for me
Baby is it destiny?
We have trouble believing
It's meant to be

Don't miss the forest around
For the trees on the ground

Is it hard to believe?
When the wind blows
We're falling like leaves
Do you feel like we're free?
Because the truth is
We're just ships on the sea

Hang around
Hold to the moment
Let it carry you down
Babe you've gotta hang around
And drink in the tragic
With the hope that I've found

You can't see a line in the clouds
When you're drifting about

Is it hard to believe?
When the wind blows
We're falling like leaves
Do you feel like we're free?
Because the truth is
We're just ships on the sea

Tell me the truth now love
Tell me I'm all mixed up
Tell me the true now love
Tell me that I've lost my head
And made it up

Let it be
The ache in my soul
Well it's old news to me
Let it be

Is it hard to believe?
Because the truth is
We're just ships on the sea

Are you drifting like me?
Because the truth is
We're just ships on the sea

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
