We both had discount tickets
For two sinking boats
And when they crashed against the rocks
We helped each other float
We both had cuts and burns
From which we both would learn
Our talks sheltered me from harm
And my heart sounded the alarm
But I didn't think it was true
Since my eyes weren't set on you
And then out of the blue
You found Boat Number 2
I shrugged it off and moved
Looked for my own boat too
A whole year passed and then
Your boat got wrecked again
We caught a film with none of this in mind
Simply just to pass the time
But it was such a cute film we saw
I saw your smile in shock and awe
The film's message is something we both felt
In the way the colours would make us melt
You said it was something, you don't know
Maybe a new boat starting to row
But I just wasn't ready
I just wasn't there yet
I didn't know what I wanted
I should have known what I would get
Your yellow raincoat
Your pretty kitten smile
I hug you at the dock
And you set sail again
