Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Everytime you come around
Come lose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Everytime you come around

We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when i crawl into your arms
Everything, it comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Everytime you come around
Your face is falling sad now
Before you know the time is now
When i must remove your wings
And you, you must learn to fly

Sail your ships around me
And burn your brudges down
We make a little history, baby
Everytime you come around
Come lose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Everytime you come around
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Everytime you come around
Come lose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
And you are a little mystery to me
Everytime you come around
You come around
You come around
You come around
Sail your ships...
