Setting Off Lyrics



Anchors away!

This extra weight is pulling down on me

It's drowning me

And now its overboard with the necessities



There's no room for you to come aboard



Chorus:

I'm setting off, setting off to sea

In a boat that's filled from bow to stern

Of things that I don't need

The smallest waves are crashing over me

Soon my muffled cries as I capsize

Will be all that's left



My problems always lie

In failed attempts to hide

The ways that I rely

On my dumb luck



Oh God, I feel my grip

Begin to slowly slip

And now this sinking ship's

As good as sunk



There's no room for you to come aboard

So just wait right here till I return to shore



Chorus:

I'm setting off, setting off to sea

In a boat that's filled from bow to stern

Of things that I don't need

The smallest waves are crashing over me

Soon my muffled cries as I capsize

Will be all that's left of me



Anchors away!

I can't take this extra weight

It's pulling down on me

It's pulling down on me



Chorus:

I'm setting off, setting off to sea

In a boat that's filled from bow to stern

Of things that I don't need

The smallest waves are crashing over me

Soon my muffled cries as I capsize

Will be all that's left
