on board

• alana henderson, joshua burnside şarkısı.
  
  [verse, alana henderson]
  i don't need no shore leave
  'cause feet fixed, i still sway to the sea's heave
  don't need to be wrung out or hung out to dry
  i know how the lands lie
  and if you came on board
  i know you'd scan for the safety of a lighthouse blink
  any port in a storm, love
  you promise you won't falter
  but i know i've seen men sink
  
  [chorus, alana henderson and joshua burnside]
  so you should get on board
  with someone whose course is steadier than mine
  you should get on board
  with someone whose eyes are on the horizon
  not on the skies
  on board with someone
  whose anchor is heavier than mine
  you should get on board
  
  [verse, alana henderson]
  'cause i'm a flotsam jetsam mess
  a drunken sailor in a dress
  and fifty fathoms deep no less when my heart's at sea
  and if you came on board
  i know you'd tire of the tossing of my seabed
  and forget what i said
  ships were not built to be safe, no, no, no
  
  [chorus, alana henderson and joshua burnside]
  so you should get on board
  with someone whose course is steadier than mine
  you should get on board
  with someone whose eyes are on the horizon
  not on the skies
  on board with someone
  whose anchor is heavier than mine
  you should get on board
  
  [verse, joshua burnside]
  well, i've weathered worse storms
  than the one, the one you've been
  brewin' up in your mind
  i've weathered worse storms
  lord knows, he knows i've been sailin'
  for an awfully long time
  worse storms than all your fair-weather friends
  and your shipmates combined
  tie up those lines
  'cause i shot the albatross
  and i will swim across
  the old man and the sea has nothin' on me
  'cause this love is steady
  truer than north
  now you take that on board
  you take that on board
  
  [chorus, alana henderson and joshua burnside]
  no, you should get on board
  with someone whose course is steadier than mine
  (i've weathered worse storms)
  you should get on board
  with someone whose eyes are on the horizon
  not on the skies
  (i stare at stars)
  on board with someone
  whose anchor is heavier than mine
  (i've sailed at seas...)
  you should get on board
  
  [verse, alana henderson and joshua burnside]
  i'll be the figurehead
  on your ship's bow
  i'll be the last glimpse of a topsail
  as we go down
  i'll be waiting on the seabed
  repeating the words
  (you said)
  don't forget, ships were not built to be safe
  and in all my life's mistakes
  you were not one
  'cause all i've ever done
  all i've ever done
  is love you
  to the bottom of the deep blue sea
