Ships Crashing

south of the border and north of the sound
where people come flying from miles around
one man is losing what another man found

but what did you expect to happen when you ran the red light
me and you we're two ships crashing in the night
me and you we're two ships crashing
in the night

east of the city and west of the sun
it's raining shame drops on everyone
and you can hide but you cannot run

and what did you expect to happen when you ran the red light
me and you we're two ships crashing in the night
me and you we're two ships crashing in the night
me and you we're two ships crashing

in the night
i see the ocean through
deeper than me
wilder than you
you sail
that open sea
waiting to drown
inside of me

north of the doorman and south of your mind
there lies a bass drum playing out of time
faster and faster and slower than mine

but what did you expect to happen when you ran the red light
me and you we're two ships crashing in the night
me and you we're two ships crashing in the night
me and you we're two ships crashing
in the night
