The Long Sea

You've always thought the first time was that night on the boat

Cramped up in the bottom bunk while she slept above

I suppose it's more glamorous out at sea under the moon

Instead of pissed at a party while they laughed there instead

Twenty-three years of foreplay led up to this

But sometimes I envy my friends, sometimes I see a world of opportunity

And what if it stays out there anchored in the middle of nowhere

Maybe we should arrange to meet somewhere

You go out with yours, I'll go out with mine

You always thought the first time was on the boat

And you don't even like boats

When we got one on holiday all you could say was don't go out too far

And what if it never comes back? It just stays out there on the sea

All my favorite memories are of you and all the best times were with you

But sometimes I see a world of opportunity

And I envy my friends, twenty-three years of foreplay led up to this

What if, if it comes back?
