The Ship That Always Sailed

[Verse 1]
Don't want my life to be slow
Don't want to always play it safe
I'd rather be the ship that sales
Riding on the billows
Wild and free
Facing every storm that rises
Straight on, straight through 
Than be rusting where the seagulls wail
Afraid to ever touch the open sea
[Chorus]
I'd rather be the ship that sailed
Even if I crack
Even if I fail
Livin' life to it's fullest 
Feeling the thunder vibrate deep within my chest
Feeling the hail pound off my body
Than be the ship
The ship that never sailed at all
[Verse 2]
I'd rather taste the sting of strife
Where gales are born and tempest roar
Tossed from side to side 
Feeling the adrenaline rush
Than settle for a smaller life
And rot in dry dock on the shore
[Chorus]
I'd rather be the ship that sailed
Even if I crack
Even if I fail
Livin' life to it's fullest 
Feeling the thunder vibrate deep within my chest
Feeling the hail pound off my body
Than be the ship
The ship that never sailed at all
[Bridge]
Let the sky split
Let the waves rise
Let the maps burn in the rain
Better broken on the far side
Better thrashed all about 
Than untouched and safe
Sitting on the shore
Never a risk taken
And never changed
[Chorus]
I'd rather be the ship that sailed
Even if I crack
Even if I fail
Livin' life to it's fullest 
Feeling the thunder vibrate deep within my chest
Feeling the hail pound off my body
Than be the ship
The ship that never sailed at all
[Chorus]
I'd rather be the ship that sailed
Even if I crack
Even if I fail
Livin' life to it's fullest 
Feeling the thunder vibrate deep within my chest
Feeling the hail pound off my body
Than be the ship
The ship that never sailed at all
