lyrics

all aboard
the boat said the captain
steering one by one
against the rift
and the sun was abroad
i could hold her
all aboard the end of time

and we row our way back home
and we pray way don't end up wronged
are we fools to think we can make it out?
so we rowed and rowed for a while

the waves were our friends
and our shelter
but this place is a mess
and our pleads are deaf
now im scared that i know
what you're thinking
we swim or else we die

she is old with an odd correspondent
and she shows she gives to swell
are we fools to think we can make it out?
either way i will row till these arms fall right off

and let us run away, love, to be with you
no matter what they say, love, i'd be with you
and let us run away, love, to be with you
no matter what they say, love, i'd be with you
