[Verse 1] Is there anything I could’ve said To make this story end different? Is there something I could’ve done To make us forever instead of once? Was there a night you lay awake And wondered if I was worth the weather Worth the rain, the cold, the wait Or did the miles just pull us further? [Chorus] I’d build a ship with these two hands Nail by nail, until it stands I’d sail across the whole damn sea Just to prove you’re everything to me Is it just the distance making you think? Or are you scared the boat I built might sink? ’Cause I’d rather drown in the dark with you Than stay on shore and never try to [Verse 2] I’d carve your name into the mast And let the wind decide how fast I’d chase every wave, ignore every warning Just to see your face come morning The best part of this year so far Has been learning who you are So I hope these words feel true ’Cause I’d cross the world for you [Chorus] I’d build a ship with these two hands Nail by nail, until it stands I’d sail across the whole damn sea Just to prove you’re everything to me Is it just the distance making you think? Or are you scared the boat I built might sink? Tell me now, before I go Is there still a place for me on your shore? [Bridge] Maybe I said it all wrong Maybe I stayed quiet too long But if you ever looked at me And thought I might be worth the storm Then I’ll keep building I’ll keep sailing I’ll keep believing This boat won’t go down [Final Chorus] I’d build a ship with these two hands Sail until the water ends I’d risk the wreck, the storm, the sea Just to know you still believe in me ’Cause the best part of this year, it’s true Was every moment I got with you So if the distance is all that’s wrong Say the word—I’ll be there by dawn
