Tragically Hip - Nautical Disaster lyrics

You need someone to hold you

You need somethin' that you ain't been getting

Yeah, I could be the one

To tell you what to do, but it don't mean nothing

And you're holding on forever

But that something just ain't true

I'm just like you

And I know

It's what I'd do

Here I go

'Cause I couldn't stop the world, 'cause I loved you

I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to

I couldn't stop the world, and I won't

'Cause it ain't enough

You had another bad day

You let me know that you just can't take it

I've given up on you

You live in truth and I know I can't fake it

'Cause the stars you see are on a dirty sidewalk

And they ain't polished and new

If they don't come true

And I know, it's what I'd do

Here I go

'Cause I couldn't stop the world, 'cause I loved you

I couldn't stop the world, and I don't want to

I couldn't stop the world, and I won't

'Cause it ain't enough

I'm not too young for the world

I'm not too young for the world

And I can't change for the world

'Cause I don't care for the world

I don't need to stop the world

It don't make sense, the world
