Til Your Ship Comes In

James Hamilton Leithauser

You're kidding me, right?
With that dot in your eye
You went mouthing off to strangers
'Til you picked the wrong guy

Frozen on page one
Of some memory book, yeah I know that look
Buried in a purple wash
A Photoshop cut-out collage

But I love you now
And I loved you then
And I'll love you, til your ship comes in

There's no words left for your sir
Just spit in your eye
And the spider webs
Go red and blue
When the cops go by

I love you now
And I loved you then
And I'll love you, til your ship comes in

On the right track
On the right track
Gonna cut you straight
Save a little face
Gonna act your age

Everybody wants you
In a different way
We call you by a different name

Gonna cut you straight (we call you)
On the right track (we call you)
On the right track (we call you by a different name)

I can't tune you out after all we did (we call you)
But it sure can be hard to forgive (we call you)
When you're like (we call you by a different name)

"Pray for me old flame
And my chipped up smile
I shiver like a shadow
In your big dark eyes"

I love you now
I loved you then
And I'll love you, til your ship comes in
