lyrics

Right at this moment
When I'm doing alright
And I've picked up the pieces
Of the rest of my life

Just when I've forgotten
All I've tried to forget
You come back and tell me you miss me
And how much I meant

Why should I be there
Whenever you need a friend?
I moved on like you did long ago
To keep from reaching the end

But whenever your lonely days
Turn into nights
That's when you come back from the past
To ruin my life

If I could charter an oceangoing yacht
I'd travel everywhere you're not
Mozambique or Monaco
I really don't care where I go

So many wondrous ports of call
Where I won't see your face at all
I'd circumnavigate a world
Much bigger than the one you destroyed

Right at this moment
When I'm doing alright
And I've picked up the pieces
Of the rest of my life

Just when I've forgotten
All I've tried to forget
You come back and tell me you miss me
And how much I meant

If I could charter an oceangoing yacht
I'd travel everywhere you're not
The destination is the voyage itself
Always underway to somewhere else

You were always scared of the sea
So that's a nice safe home to me
And if a rogue wave swallows me...

Whatever happens next
That's alright with me
