The Altogether
Shipwreck Song
[Verse 1: Jonah Scott]
Oh! Brother here
Waiting on the eastern shore
Oh! Sister dear
Tell me what you’re waiting for
[Verse 2: Jonah Scott]
We’ve been tossed about
Freezing on the eastern shore
Waves that spat us out
Tell me what you’re freezing for
[Chorus: Sierra Scott]
As I lay clinging to the mast
Ears still ringing from the blast
Looked up to the swirling stars that swore that they would guide us
Now gone, swallowed by the moon, tugged at the sheets to hide us
In this cloudy place
Where no one knows your name when thеy see your face
[Verse 3: Jonah Scott, Jonah Scott and Sierra Scott]
Go rescue him
Drowning on thе eastern shore
It’s sink or swim
So tell me what you’re drowning for
[Verse 4: Jonah Scott, Jonah Scott and Sierra Scott]
We have fought the fight
Clinging to the eastern shore
Now we wait for night
Tell me what you’re clinging for
[Chorus: Sierra Scott]
And when the storm came raging past
Don’t you feel you’re aging fast?
And clouds that you swore bore the shape of your own mother
Explode, everybody starts to look like one another
When the lightning hits
Your name was all you had, now it’s blown to bits
[Verse 5: Jonah Scott, Jonah Scott and Sierra Scott]
So let us begin
Living on the eastern shore
Let the players in
Tell me what you’re living for
[Verse 6: Jonah Scott, Jonah Scott and Sierra Scott]
Oh! Brother here
Waiting on the eastern shore
Oh! Sister dear
Tell me what you’re waiting for
[Outro: Jonah Scott, Jonah Scott and Sierra Scott]
Oh! Brother here
Waiting on the eastern shore
Oh! Sister dear
Tell me what you’re waiting for
Tell me what you’re waiting for
Tell me what you’re waiting for
