I had a dream I was lost at sea, surrounded by my life's debris
By baseball bats and Star Wars cards, and apple trees from our backyard
I rowed a raft of photographs, that trapped the laughs we used to have
And floating out there on the sea, was every note you wrote to me

I'm still afloat on this sinking boat
And I'm still afloat on this sinking boat
On this sinking boat, I'm still afloat

On my bicycle banana seat, I paddled through my old trophies
And on bolo ties and rosaries, I prayed no one would rescue me
My first transistor radio, Was still a shade of bright yellow
And every tune it played for me, Was Top Ten Christmas '83

I'm still afloat on this sinking boat
And I'm still afloat on this sinking boat
On this sinking boat, I'm still afloat

With pop-up binoculars in my hand
I set my sights upon the land
And though I was hoping to drift some more
A voice came calling from the shore

It said, 'Wake up, Daddy and play with me
That Star Wars game on PS3'
(I'm still afloat on my sinking boat)
'And don't forget you promised me
To teach me how to climb a tree'
(I'm still afloat on my sinking boat.)
I'm still afloat

I had a dream I was lost at sea
