Hole in the Boat

by Matt Cardle

on Time to Be Alive (2018)

It was a crush
How did it ever lead to us
It was heaven
Now you hurt to touch
It's so wildly complicated

We called it love
Yet it brought out the worst of us
We are drowning but we're in no rush
There's so little time, why waste it
Why waste it

JustHold me close
We're going down with this ship
We could have had it all, babe
We could
We should have seen the warnings
We should
If I could save us, darling
Know I would
But even if I tried it's just no good

Baby there's a hole in the boat
We're going down slow
There's a hole in the boat
We're going down slow
There's a hole in the boat
We're going down slow

There was a time
We would read each other's mind
We wouldn't read in-between the lines
We had patience
So tell me why
We lost the words to make it right
We use the silence to start a fight
Why break it

Hold me close
We're going down with this ship
We could have had it all
We could
We should have seen the warnings
We should
If I could save us, darling
I would
But even if I try it's just no good

Baby there's a hole in the boat
We're going down slow
There's a hole in the boat
We're going down slow
There's a hole in the boat
We're going down slow

Baby there's a hole in the boat
We're going down slow
There's a hole in the boat
We're going down slow
There's a hole in the boat
We're going down slow
