"The Sailor Song" lyrics

"The Sailor Song"

I was your sailor, your demon
Your lover, your overbearing best friend
Hoping for some attention
I saw through your automatic heartache
Now I know that love is as love was
It's downhill from here

Should I run a million miles
Away from every memory of you, you?
Let that be a lesson to me
Think not with my heart but with my head, oh

But I never really had it in me, did I, did I?
No, I never really had it in me, did I?
Said I never really had it in me, did I, did I, did I?

I was your armchair, your mattress
Your TV, your everlasting talk show host
Mouthing "Baby, you're wonderful"
I fell under your control
Switch on, switch off, robotic
And I lost every ounce of myself

Should I run a million miles
Away from every memory of you, you?
Let that be a lesson to me
Think not with my heart but with my head, oh

But I never really had it in me, did I, did I?
No, I never really had it in me, did I?
Said I never really had it in me, did I, did I, did I?
No, I never really had it in me, did I?
Said I never really had it in me, did I?
No, I never really had it in me, never really had it in me, never really had it in me did I, did I?

De-deh-ah
De-deh-ah
De-deh-ah-ah-ah

De-deh-ah
De-deh-ah
De-deh-ah-ah-oh

I was your sailor, your demon
Your lover, your overbearing best friend
Hoping for some attention
