Gabrielle Zwi - Ships Lyrics

You've been around me long enough to know that
I chase the clouds, don't look where I'm going
So lay back with me, look at white shapes in the sky
They say beauty lies in the beholder's eye
So tell me if I can't see what's really there

'Cause all my ships are sailing, but I'm still at the shore
So darling, if you're waiting, what are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Forty-thousand minutes and you're still on my mind
But I'm still sitting here, wasting my time
Waiting, waiting, oh waiting, but what am I waiting for

Pushing it back, pushing it back, can't be contained anymore
The water is rising, floodgates are open, and we're drowning, drowning
We've got high ambitions, but no expectations, maybe we're friends with potential
May I admire you again today? All these movies, words I'd like to say
We don't know what we're searching for, I can't remember what I'm singing for

'Cause all my ships are sailing, but I'm still at the shore
So darling, if you're waiting, what are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Forty-thousand minutes and you're still on my mind
But I'm still sitting here, wasting my time
Waiting, waiting, oh waiting, but what am I waiting for

'Cause all my ships are sailing, but I'm still at the shore
So darling, if you're waiting, what are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Forty-thousand minutes and you're still on my mind
But I'm still sitting here, wasting my time
Waiting, waiting, oh waiting

Well, I don't know in what way I do
But I'm definitely missing you
Twenty thousand hours and you're still on my mind
