The chorus for this song has been stuck in my head for 3 days now. Thanks to Jack from the Mezzanine Owls for providing the lyrics to me!

counting boats out in the harbor
i was content just doing that
they kept multiplying time and again
setting out and coming back
then the days started getting shorter
all the boats stayed in their docks
months passed by in numbing order
they sky went blue then grey then black
can’t you see it sucks the life right out of me
i know your shoulders weigh a ton
it’s plain to see it sucks the life right out of me
your lightbulb’s not the sun
my friend moved out to the desert
bought a car and found a job
out there water’s an oasis
who would waste their time on that
