You dug a hole for me in your backyard
A time capsule of nostalgic treats
You found a place for me in
The back of your mind
Dig me up before you're out of time

Save your sorrow crave my life
Eat my heart out fork and knife

A thousand ships struck my will to the ground
He crawled to his feet
Did not wait to be found
Her face led you to be lost at sea
You drowned and what you found was me

I wrote my goals upon my palm
With a ballpoint pen
I held your hand, I sweat now they're gone
I'll make 'em up again

Save your sorrow crave my life
Eat my heart out fork and knife

A thousand ships struck my will to the ground
He crawled to his feet
Did not wait to be found
Her face led you to be lost at sea
You drowned and what you found was me

You have built a tent of woes
I won't sleep beneath them
Bury them in my old hole
And soften your heart again

A thousand ships struck my will to the ground
He crawled to his feet
Did not wait to be found
Her face led you to be lost at sea
You drowned and what you found was me

Save your sorrow crave my life
Eat my heart out fork and knife

A thousand ships struck my will to the ground
He crawled to his feet
Did not wait to be found
Her face led you to be lost at sea
You drowned and what you found was me
