Hey! 00:04

Hey! 00:09

Hey! 00:13

I don't like walking around this old and empty house 00:19

So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear 00:23

The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake 00:28

It's the house telling you to close your eyes 00:33

And some days I can't even dress myself 00:37

It's killing me to see you this way 00:42

'Cause though the truth may vary, this 00:46

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore 00:49

Hey! 00:59

Hey! 01:04

Hey! 01:08

There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back 01:14

Well, tell her that I miss our little talks 01:18

Soon it will be over and buried with our past 01:23

We used to play outside when we were young 01:29

And full of life and full of love 01:31

Some day, I don't know if I am wrong or right 01:34

Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear 01:37

'Cause though the truth may vary, this 01:44

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore 01:45

(Hey!) 01:51

Don't listen to a word I say (hey!) 01:52

The screams all sound the same (hey!) 01:56

Though the truth may vary, this 02:00

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore 02:05

Hey! 02:13

Hey! 02:18

You're gone, gone, gone away, I watched you disappear 02:38

All that's left is a ghost of you 02:43

Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, there's nothing we can do 02:47

Just let me go, we'll meet again soon 02:52

Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around 03:00

I'll see you when I fall asleep 03:02

(Hey!) 03:05

Don't listen to a word I say (hey!) 03:06

The screams all sound the same (hey!) 03:11

Though the truth may vary, this 03:15

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore 03:18

Don't listen to a word I say (hey!) 03:25

The screams all sound the same (hey!) 03:32

Though the truth may vary, this 03:34

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore 03:36

Though the truth may vary, this 03:43

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore 03:46

Though the truth may vary, this 03:53

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore 03:57

[English]

Hey!

I don't like walking around this old and empty house

So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear

The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake

It's the house telling you to close your eyes

And some days I can't even dress myself

It's killing me to see you this way

'Cause though the truth may vary, this

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey!

There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back

Well, tell her that I miss our little talks

Soon it will be over and buried with our past

We used to play outside when we were young

And full of life and full of love

Some day, I don't know if I am wrong or right

Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear

'Cause though the truth may vary, this

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

(Hey!)

Don't listen to a word I say (hey!)

The screams all sound the same (hey!)

Though the truth may vary, this

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey!

You're gone, gone, gone away, I watched you disappear

All that's left is a ghost of you

Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, there's nothing we can do

Just let me go, we'll meet again soon

Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around

I'll see you when I fall asleep

(Hey!)

Don't listen to a word I say (hey!)

The screams all sound the same (hey!)

Though the truth may vary, this

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Don't listen to a word I say (hey!)

The screams all sound the same (hey!)

Though the truth may vary, this

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary, this

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary, this

Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
