Stealing Sailboats

Pick me up, because I'm broken.
I've got rust creeping through my veins.
I recall what they all said when I set sail across Great Lakes
You'll never make it.
You'll never navigate the sea alone.
You'll never make it.
I've seen better men go down. Stay home.
I cast off anyway.
Created my fate.
Pulled my anchor up at dawn.
I cast off anyway.
Created my fate.
And the birds sang me along.
I need this water to help me breathe.
I'm on fire constantly.
I'm in love with an old man who I see in the mirror each day.
I surround myself with friends that I never except to say.
You'll never make it.
You'll never navigate the sea alone.
You'll never make it.
I've seen better men go down. Stay home.
