Analysis of A Sinking Ship
Our love is a sinking ship
This much I know is true
People tell me all the time
But my heart doesn't understand
No one know you as well as I
And you know it is true
I'd rather walk 1000 miles
Than go 1 minute withot you
Our love is sinking
Sinking quick
I always knew
It wouldn't last
But still I wish it would
This ship is bound to sink
So I'll enjoy it
While it lasts
