Paper Ships Lyrics
Sailed on a ship of paper
And I sank in the deep of your eyes
I got lost in your graveyard
Now I dream on a bed of knives
I found the map to your maps
I lost the shores for you
But now I'll never get back
'Cause I'm a ghost ship on the blue
Now I hold my poems
For ladies unknown
Until my hands go weak
I'll be a ghost ship on the blue
Birds are in the sky
The land's been gone for days
And all you left was time
To find a solid grave
Pirates never loved
The way that I do
You never said enough
To keep me next to you
Now I hold my poems
For ladies unknown
Until my hands go weak
I'll be a ghost ship on the blue
And I sank in the deep of your eyes
I got lost in your graveyard
Now I dream on a bed of knives
I lost the shores for you
But now I'll never get back
'Cause I'm a ghost ship on the blue
For ladies unknown
Until my hands go weak
I'll be a ghost ship on the blue
The land's been gone for days
And all you left was time
To find a solid grave
The way that I do
You never said enough
To keep me next to you
For ladies unknown
Until my hands go weak
I'll be a ghost ship on the blue

I am in love with this. The dark imagery of all of these songs is just beautiful.
I think it's about being in love but the woman he loves has left him and now he is just ghost ship on the blue. He's just a ghost. Not really there.
