lyrics

I wish I was on a sinking ship
a mammoth like the Titanic
so that maybe my death
would hold some historic importance
oh! and maybe then
someone might know just where I've been
cuz I'm losing my relationships
to lack of communication
yeah, it's pretty bland of me
to speak of life like this
but when your friends aren't all your friends
they're just after something they can't get
it gets a little dull
pointless drama
pointless pull
man I made so many memories
to smash them like the sea does to a ship

sometimes I wish I was someone else
a man of God, a man of wealth
but I don't think I could face myself
knowing that I'd never felt
the wrath and plight of life
the thrills of barely getting by
counting dollars at a time
resorting to the cheapest wine
where we could drink the night away
and wait for all our bothers to come haunt us in the morning
but then night will roll right round and we will sing

the path we travel is far better than
the destination
it doesn't matter where I get
it only matters who I go with
so with my few and honest friends
an empty box
and empty bottles
we will endure every bottom
we'll enjoy the lives we live
til death

oh yeah I could wish
a million things
that never will come true
so instead of faith in faithless things
I've all my faith in all of you
so when it feels like you are going nowhere
quicker than you would have liked
just pick up your telephone--
and we can get FUCKED UP tonight!
we'll dream of where we've been
let those stories bring us up again
I'll cherish all the things we've done
I swear I won't forget you when you're gone

the path we travel is far better than
the destination
it doesn't matter where I get
it only matters who I go with
so with my few and honest friends
an empty box
and empty bottles
we will endure every bottom
we'll enjoy the lives we live
til death
