Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Most days hit like weather Here then gone I stare at the ceiling Till it feels like a sky Coffee gets colder Phone face down Friends keep on talking But the words float by [Chorus] I’m a boat on the ocean No lighthouse No land Just waves and the motion Of a life I don’t understand Every day just drifting Further from a plan I’m a boat on the ocean And I can’t remember who I am [Verse 2] Tide comes in as emails Tide goes out Answering to everyone While I’m burning out Every plan’s a paper sail Soaked right through If there’s a map inside me I lost it with you [Chorus] I’m a boat on the ocean No lighthouse No land Just waves and the motion Of a life I don’t understand Every day just drifting Further from a plan I’m a boat on the ocean And I can’t remember who I am [Bridge] Did I miss my harbor? Did I sleep right through the sound? If I scream into the water Will it ever turn me around? (turn me around) [Chorus] I’m a boat on the ocean No lighthouse No land Just waves and the motion Of a life I don’t understand Every day just drifting Further from a plan I’m a boat on the ocean Trying to remember who I am (who I am) Just a boat on the ocean Reaching for a piece of land
