I hadn’t even surfaced yet, we hadn’t even met
I was tied up in this harbor, with all my cargo still on deck
And I thought by you that’s what I meant, all that cargo I was carrying on my deck
I laid in my bed, floating
This big belly of a ship, swaying and moaning
Her tummy bulging, creaking and moaning
The waves, are the hands that your god gave
But without me you’d be just a prisoner of his sea
Come on up and lay your little body on the beach
What’s in this wild world that tempts you out of my reach
Is no enemy of me child, so you never need to leave
You and I both know at night, the floor and the ceiling of this harbor have stars
Oh baby up in the night, they are ours
You’re on this ship with me, asleep in my tummy
I’ve got money on that, we don’t go back
The waves, are the hands that your god gave
And it may feel like they know you better than me
But these vines I’ve got them coiled tight around your knees
And the roots are in deep
I’ve got you, I’ve got you, I’ve got you
Forget the glue
I carry you
