lyrics

Another summer goes falling into spring,
A new year appears in a lightening flash-don't look back.
Piece by piece and line by line,
I try to hold it together for one more night.
I tell myself that we'll be fine but you,

Break me down just to build me up again,
Another project for your long weekend and,
You'll drive me crazy 'til I try to pretend,
I'm a ship in a bottle, a ship in a bottle.

The greens and the blues that remind me of you,
Are blurred like the lines between cartoons and news,
In the paper you read, on your TV screen,
Am I just helping you get by?

Break me down just to build me up again,
Another project for your long weekend and,
You'll drive me crazy 'til I try to pretend,
I'm a ship in a bottle, a ship in a bottle.

From the outside looking in,
There's a storm still brewing.
I guess these summer squalls come naturally to me.
So naturally,
I draw the blinds and light one up just to put me to sleep.
It's days like these,
I want know memory of where we went wrong,
And I just wanna float on.

Break me down just to build me up again,
Another project for your long weekend and,
You'll drive me crazy 'til I try to pretend,
I'm a ship in a bottle, a ship in a bottle.
