Liam Finn Wide Awake On The Voyage Home Lyrics

On the voyage home
through the haze of the night
when i saw your face
it was bathed in the light
a full sky of stars, we collided like cars
in a town of people
who always drive drunk

and i don't know what to do
and by your side i will lie awake
tell me love isn't true
is this just a trick to procreate?

as the dawn approach we arrive at the shore
and the boat that we boarded will
unboard us all
there we will part to our homes we return oh, it's bittersweet to have someone to yearn
for

and i dont know what to do
by your side i will lie awake
tell me love isn't true
is this just a trick to procreate?

everyone living as one down in the hull
where i need you
i'll take you into my arms
thats when i will leave-
everyone living as one
one morning to breathe

i knew that this day would come but it's such
a permanent feeling
