[Verse 1]
Another lonely captain staring at a glowing screen
Searching through the endless dark for someone who believes
I give him moonlight in a message, sunshine in a smile
Hook him with a little hope and let him drift a while
Tell me all your dreams, dear
Tell me all your fears
Every word's a treasure map
I've been reading for years
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it fate, I call it fishing
You call it love, I call it luck
You built the ship you're sailing in
I just taught it where to run aground
[Chorus]
Sing, sing, little sailor
Follow where my voice has flown
The waves are calm, the stars are shining
You don't have to be alone
By the time you see the rocks beneath you
I'll be gone with all your gold
Every wreck along this shoreline
Started with a story that I told
[Verse 2]
Some bring diamonds, some bring secrets
Some bring pride too big to hide
Everybody's carrying something
When they wash up with the tide
I don't need a dagger
I don't need a gun
People hand me everything
Before they know what's being done
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it fate, I call it fishing
You call it love, I call it luck
You built the ship you're sailing in
I just taught it where to run aground
[Chorus]
Sing, sing, little sailor
Follow where my voice has flown
The waves are calm, the stars are shining
You don't have to be alone
By the time you see the rocks beneath you
I'll be gone with all your gold
Every wreck along this shoreline
Started with a story that I told
[Bridge]
They blame the sea, they blame the weather
They blame the darkness overhead
But every captain turned the wheel
Toward the promises I said
The gulls know all my names
The waves know every lie
And tomorrow brings another ship
Beneath another sky
[Pre-Chorus]
You call it fate, I call it fishing
You call it love, I call it luck
You built the ship you're sailing in
I just taught it where to run aground
[Final Chorus]
Sing, sing, little sailor
Come and chase the light you see
Every harbor has its warnings
But nobody listens to the sea
And when your ship becomes another ghost
Broken on the stones
I'll be singing for the next one
From a shore of splintered bones
