So Lyrics - The Roches

So maybe another way would have been better 

If you had been older or had known a thing or two 

Before you set sail for the new world 

Sail for the new world, mate 

All this ships ahoy 

Trouble is all of the things I hate 

But I'm still a young boy 

In the meantime a chance in the form of a light 

Makes a man take a stance and dash his boat up on the rocks 

In the dead of night 

So what if you had been lucky then 

What would it make you? 

So there'd be a statue so people won't forget 

You set sail for the new world 

Sail for the new world, mate 

Let's not and say we did 

Trouble comes and it seals your fate 

As you turn into the skid 

Sail for the new world, mate 

All ships ahoy 

Trouble comes when you graduate 

But I'm still a young boy
