Shipboard Cook (live) Lyrics - Third Eye Blind

I wanna go to the ocean 

And send a postcard of my loneliness 

Forgetting you is so elusive 

I run away but it's always this 

You're the only one 

I love 

It's always been you 

And I wish I was conscripted in the Merchant Marines 

Shanghaied into service to sails and machines just to stay alive 

And my sister keeps it simple she's a shipboard cook 

She can run line, but if you take a look, it's not easy though 

'Cause I'm hoping you will find me 

I keep hoping you will find me 

Hoping you will find me 

I keep hoping you will find me 

I'm always a ghost

I tried your gypsy tarot readings, some seance stunt 

I keep an open mind but I think it's just a front 

Want to believe it though 

My sister says: "Forget her boy, that's all that you need" 

She pitches magical elixirs, potions full of mead for a broken heart 

It's too late for that 

And I try to keep it simple 

I try to keep it true 

It's always been you 

It's always been you 

When you sailor boys brag about the hearts that they broke 

It's all just a joke 

It's all just a boast 

Yeah yeah yeah, oh 

I'm always a ghost

You're about as haunted as a darkened basement 

I've got all the chances of a dog in a settlement 

She may have her secrets, she'll never tell 

I ride along without 'em on a deep sea swell 

I heard there's something new, she starts to talk 

She's the merry widow on the widow's walk 

And they say: "What do you fear what are you running from?" 

The only thing I fear is when I go numb 

And I'm hoping you will find me 

I keep hoping you will find me 

Hoping you will find me 

I keep hoping you will find me 

Yeah yeah yeah 

And I try to keep it simple 

I try to keep it true 

It's always been you 

It's always been you 

When you sailor boys brag about the hearts that they broke 

It's all just a joke 

It's all just a boast 

Yeah yeah yeah, oh 

I'm always a ghost 

I'm always a ghost 

I'm always a ghost 

I'm always a ghost
