Testo Shipwrecked (Glass Bottom Boats)

As we pulled out the stakes
And put your knee to the wall
You were happy and ready for life
Thought I was tracking your heartbeat
But you were leading me by mine
That's the ignorance of my youth

And I've but little in life And less that I'm willing to part with
I've been spoiled and I've sweated and starved
I was drawn to this place
Leaving love in my wake
Though it's me who will be left behind

And I was holding my breath, dear
To stave off collapse
My eyes felt like glass bottom boats that had cracked
You lay here and cry without fear of the truth
I was cursing the flaws of my ignorance and youth

As we pulled out the stakes
And put your knee to the wall
You were happy and ready for life Thought I was tracking your heartbeat
But you were leading me by mine
That's the ignorance of my youth

And I was holding my breath, dear
To stave off collapse
My eyes felt like glass bottom boats that had cracked
You lay here and cry without fear of the truth
I was cursing the flaws of my ignorance and youth
