the ship of the seasick sailor

running to the empty spaces, of a love that we once shared, in between the lipstick traces, to a time that we once had, you mistook me for a man, that i once knew, you caught me unprepared, that's why on the tide of an ocean of failure, an ocean of love in my heart, bring me the ship of the seasick sailor, bring me the keys of the sleeping jailor, bring me the guns of the war torn soldier, bury the flag slung over his shoulder, maybe you could love me again, maybe you could love me again, then and only then, because it hurts to be your friend, i've been to all the lonely places, we fought once to defend, i'd hate to be your enemy, because it hurts to be your friend, you mistook me for a man, that i once knew, you caught me unprepared, that's why on the tide of an ocean of failure, an ocean of love in my heart, bring me the ship of the seasick sailor, bring me the keys of the sleeping jailor, bring me the guns of the war torn soldier, bury the flag slung over his shoulder, maybe you could love me again, maybe you could love me again, then and only then, because it hurts to be your friend, the sea is calm, the door is locked, we're safe from harm, the ship is docked, the battle's over, the war is won, screen fades to black, in a setting sun, bring me the ship of the seasick sailor, bring me the keys of the sleeping jailor, bring me the guns of the war torn soldier, bury the flag slung over his shoulder, maybe you could love me again, maybe you could love me again, then and only then, because it hurts to be your friend
