He is a masterpiece
A painting on a bathroom wall
He is lost in a dream of a time long ago
And his heart is mine
If love takes its time
Maybe that’s not the trouble he needs to know
But if love is just regret and motion
I can’t feel the rolling ocean
He knows years and years of heartbreak
I will never see, but I know
He’s gonna love you
Won’t sleep ’til he has you
And the question is all that he knows
He’s gonna fear you
Can’t bear to be near you
Ain’t that just the way
Ain’t that just the way that it goes?
Ain’t that just the way that it goes?
And the pirate who speaks love
Has branded your chest
With an anchor that will always weigh you down
On the rolling seas
He will beg for swift mercy
Take the sword from his teeth
And rip off his crown
But if love is the figurehead
It’s gone to the ocean bed
And no one can hear the cries
Above the sea’s roaring, but
He’s gonna love you
Won’t sleep ’til he has you
And the question is all that he knows
He’s gonna fear you
Can’t bear to be near you
Ain’t that just the way
Ain’t that just the way that it goes?
Ain’t that just the way that it goes?
One more heart breaks
One more bell tolls
For the lost and hungry people
The lost and hungry souls
One more rebellion and
One more love-sick
Pirate on the ocean
Sick from all the motion
It’s one more flag raised
One more conquest
For the lost and hungry people
Who cling to what they know
It’s the lost and hungry people
The lost and hungry souls
But he’s gonna love you
Won’t sleep ’til he has you
And the question is all that he knows
He’s gonna fear you
Can’t bear to be near you
Ain’t that just the way that it goes?
He’s gonna love you
Won’t sleep ’til he has you
And the question is all that he knows
He’s gonna fear you
Can’t bear to be near you
Ain’t that just the way
Ain’t that just the way that it goes?
Ain’t that just the way that it goes?
