lyrics

Well I was your captain once, but then I sank your ship
Left the passengers all on the rocks
I went looking for a different ship and sank that too
I guess I just wasn't cut out for this job
And head over heels, and heels over ass
I went looking for the future, but only found the past
Just another mistaken, that cut too close to the bone
And when you coming home, when you coming home?

When you coming home?

Well I built your castle once, I built it out of sand
Until the turrets touched the sky
I went looking for your face to show you our new home
But then in came the tide
And turrets over towers, towers over balconies
I stood and watched our home be washed out by the sea
Just another mistake, if only I'd have known
And when you coming home, when you coming home?

When you coming home?

I was your officer, but I corrupted myself
Left my morals at the door
Traded in my badge for a petty thief
And you don't want me anymore
Head over heels, and heels over ass,
I keep making the same mistakes that I made in the past
I keep looking for another job and someone to call my own
Cause you never did come home, and you ain't coming home

When you coming home?

Well I was your captain once but then I sank your ship
And those passengers are still on the rocks
