lyrics

HOP ON A BOAT ON THE ST. CHARLES RIVER
YOUR RUBY HAIRED GIRL CAN PLAY YOUR SKIPPER
HOLD HER IN YOUR ARMS AND SAVE HER FROM THE COLD AIR
BUT IF I FROZE TO DEATH WOULD YOU EVEN CARE?

Ooo Ooo

YOU CAN SAIL ON THAT BOAT TO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
YOU CAN FILL THE SEA WITH HOW MUCH LOVE YOU'RE IN
NOW I'M WAITING BY THE PHONE IN THIS MIDWESTERN TUNDRA
KNOWING YOU WON'T CALL 'CUS YOU'VE MOVED ON TO SOMEONE
WHO WON'T BREAK YOUR HEART

I WISH THAT I WERE ON THAT BOAT
BUT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT THAT SHIP HAS ALREADY SAILED
AND YOU FOUND YOUR EAST COAST LOVER YOU SHOULD KEEP HER UNDERCOVER SO LIKE ME, SHE WON'T FAIL
IT CAN'T BE MY FAULT I'M A VICTIM OF MY OWN DEVICES
NOW LAKE MICHIGAN IS CALLING, I KEEP FLOATING 'ROUND IN CIRCLES, WHILE YOU'RE MOVING THROUGH THE OCEAN, I'M IN ICE

Ooo Ooo

HAS THAT BOAT TAUGHT YOU WHAT YOU REALLY WANT?
IT'S THAT SHE IS THE SEA AND THE SEA IS YOUR HEART
YOU SAID I ALWAYS MADE YOU FEEL LIKE THERE WAS SOLID GROUND
BUT THE GROUND CAN BREAK YOU DOWN AND THERE'S AN OCEAN AROUND
YEAH THE GROUND CAN BREAK YOU DOWN AND THERE'S AN OCEAN AROUND
