we're high fashion....we're last chances

this smile you see
the one that makes you think everything is fine
yeah its a lifeboat with holes in the hull
it still floats but sometimes i want it to sink
cuz im tired of treading water with you

but theres no need to worry, at least for you
cuz from the shore the boat is visible at the horizon
and it looks perfectly afloat
but its what you cant see
whats underneath this smile
thats what bores holes in the hardwood hull

you dont see how much i want to be so much more
i want to know how it feels to be yours
and it kills me everyday that what we have isnt enough for me
the water filling up this boat are the useless thoughts i fall asleep to
and the songs that i dont want out of my head that remind me of your smile

the truth is, that ive been looking for the shore for so long
and for the first time in a long time, im sure that im moving towards the right beach
i know i should patch up the holes and just stay as close to your shore as i can
and i am more than willing and ready to do so
but i just wish for once i could make landfall
for now ill be at the sandbar, and hope that it never erodes
cuz deep down i know all i need is you in my life in some way
even if it isnt the way ive imagined it
