Ships of Cortez
[Verse 1]
Sand on her shoes
Finally reach the shore
After miles of blue
Standing at the door
We were fearless in dreams
Now we're here, now we see the fight before us
And you say this is hopeless
[Chorus]
But I say
Come on, get living
The past is the past, there's no going back now
Don't wanna miss this, it's time to let go
Of that moment you're chasing
We're here now, we've made it
Come on, just light the match in turn
And watch the ships burn
[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh (oh oh), oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh (oh oh), oh oh oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
I'm tired of talking
I'm ready to begin
I might be crazy for leaving
But brother, I'm all in
Open doors, pounding chests
The choice is yours, all that's left
Is walking through it, and you say that you can't do it
[Chorus]
But I say
Come on, get living
The past is the past, there's no going back now
Don't wanna miss this, it's time to let go
Of that moment you're chasing
We're here now, we've made it
Come on, just light the match in turn
And watch the ships burn
[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh (oh oh), oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh (oh oh), oh oh oh oh oh
[Bridge]
Open doors, pounding chests
The choice is yours, all that's left
Is walking through it, and you say that you can't do it
But I say
We were fearless in dreams
Now we're here, now we see the fight before us
And I know that it's not hopeless
[Chorus]
Come on, get living
The past is the past, there's no going back now
Don't wanna miss this, it's time to let go
Of that moment you're chasing
We're here now, we've made it
Come on, just light the match in turn
And watch the ships burn
[Outro]
Oh oh oh (oh oh), oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh (oh oh), oh oh oh oh
Oh, watch the ships burn
Oh oh oh (oh oh), oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh (oh oh), oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, watch the ships burn
