lyrics
So we’ve come to the end of another long day,
With miles to go and nothing to say,
Times like this, all we have is each other,
Drifting in circles while the old engine sputters,
And we don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat anymore.
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat anymore.
An eye on the sky and a hand on the throttle
A half-hearted laugh and a nip at the bottle,
Times like this, all we have is each other,
Drifting in circles while the old engine sputters,
And we don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat anymore.
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat anymore.
Can’t shake the feeling that we’ve been here before,
And the only thing certain is we’re miles from sure.
Times like this, all we have is each other,
Drifting in circles while the old engine sputters,
And we don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat anymore.
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat,
We don’t talk about the hole in the boat anymore.
