1,000 Ships Lyrics

I'd go beyond our fighting borders if you needed that from me
I'd march with decorated soldiers to get your pretty eyes to see
Well I would bring your morning coffee then I'd wrap you up in me
I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders, cover blankets on our feet

So slow down, there's some kind of blessing here
But you have missed your cue

So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I'd bet that silver lining,
Well I know it'd find you soon

Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you,
But my messages don't seem to make it through

Well I would bring your morning coffee then I'd wrap you up in me
I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders, cover blankets on our feet

But slow down, there's some sort of blessing here
But you've gone and missed your cue

So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I'd bet that silver lining,
Well I know it'd find you soon

Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you,
But my messages don't seem to make it through

Well money and fame they are a losing game
And I know those pretty actresses are calling your name,
But I'll be here waiting,
I'll always be the same
If you'd let me in again...

So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I'd bet that silver lining,
Well I know it'd find you soon

Keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I'd bet that silver lining,
Well I know it'd find you soon

Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you,
But my messages don't seem to make it through

Cover art for 1,000 Ships lyrics by Rachel Platten

I'd go beyond our fighting borders if you needed that from me and I'd march with decorated soldiers to get your pretty eyes to see ( To me this line is very self explanatory this is basically you telling someone that you would do even the impossible to get their eyes to see the truth about something ) Well I would bring your morning coffee then I'd wrap you up in me I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders,Cover blankets on our feet ( This line goes on to say how much you love a "your " person ) So slow down there is some sort of blessing here but you've gone and missed you cue (As the song continues you say there is something better for you then what your going after or that you have to slow it down ) So keep your eyes set on the horizon, on the line where blue meets blue And I bet that silver lining,Well I know it'd find you soon ( Here you are saying keep your feet on the ground and you will soon realize things or things will start to hit you "you'll start to get it ") 'Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you, But my messages don't seem to make it through ( This is like saying I have tried to tell you something but you don't seem to get it or it hasn't impacted you enough yet ) Well money and fame they are a losing game and I know those pretty actresses are calling your name, but I'll be here waiting, I'll always be the same if you'd let me in again ( This is like saying when you fall because you are chasing the money or the fame ,etc you can come back and cry with me or my arms will be here open for you ready for you to come back to me ) Dadadadadada Hahahahahaha Dadadadadada Hahahahahaha This is where this song ends I hope it impacts you as much as it impacted me , Once again this is another song from personal experience.
