My Little Sinking Ship

You're my little sinking ship not quite built to hold such weight. We were raised for the suburbs but we took to the waves. And you carry me around from little town to little town, never knowing how much I need, never asking a thing of me I found you on the doorstep it was brave to leave your room. Mine is a safe place, I have not abandoned you or that perfect nuclear family that I left behind. And now I'm paying too much rent so you buy me some incense. You said you were proud when I stopped smoking cigarettes. And I hoped that your not disappointed that I started again. And at that awful backyard party where we stole a bottle of red. Hopped a train and we got drunk and just sang songs instead and later on the couch you told me it was the best trip you'd taken And I'm sorry you had to hide from the bouncers at my show. I organised an all ages one, just so you could go. And I wrote this song an hour before to try and make you smile. Liz do not look up to me I am a drunken mess, you're so goddamn creative a real force to be reckoned with and I will say with all my heart and soul, that I'll follow you wherever you may roam. Today's a family day so we'll spend it together. Don't tell mum and dad but you're my favourite family member. You always were the good child, I, the one who needed all of the attention. You always take my side in battles that are mine. You say, "Wil you fucked up." And I promise that I won't next time. And even though we both know I'm going to. I know you'll be on my side But you can ask anything of me
