[Verse]
I got the lifeboat down alone
The water chilled me to my bones
I slowly rowed myself to shore
'Cause you didn't want me anymore

I watched the ship into the sea
With all hands lost but me
It was a ship that shared your name
Mm-hmmm

[Verse]
I woke up shakin' in the sand
The flag was still clutched in my hand
I could see nothing through the smoke
And I cried to God, "Is this some sick joke?"

'Cause I was a kid upon the sea
But all you got was me
It was a ship that shared your name
Mm-hmmm

[Chorus]
And all of these things I have done
What is this madness that I have become
Hold on, please be brave, it's my soul I must save
And I know I will swim home starting tomorrow
[Verse]
I fought the tides and battled waves
The waters beat me down for days
I found the figurehead and knew
The gods were guiding me to you

I held the splinters of a ghost
And swam out for the coast
It was a ship that shared your name
Mm-hmmm

[Chorus]
And all of these things I have done
What is this madness that I have become
Hold on, please be brave, it's my soul I must save
And I know I will swim home starting tomorrow

[Bridge]
I sent my love into the deep
With promises I couldn't keep
But if my heart is true, I will find some way to you
To make my way back home
Home, home

[Chorus]
And all of these things we have done
Is part of this madness that we have become
Hold on, please be brave, it's my soul we must save
And now I will swim home starting tomorrow
