Broken Boat - Small Defeats Lyrics

Hey joe, I heard you lost your job on monday

I met you in the park to clear your mind
And we sat there like two airplanes on a runway
With heavy shoes and a longing for the sky
And like a tragic book I read the look
Emblazoned on your face
How clocks just tick in circles
How the years just go to waste
The minor beats, the small defeats of life

And the dry season’s coming, oh it’s coming
What you need, what you need’s an open mind
All this time I’ve been thinking, yeah just thinking
In defeat we truly come alive

And I’m alive

I sat across from lovers on the subway
They shared a smile and shared their headphones too
And I couldn’t help but think they’d break up one day
And I couldn’t help but hope that day was soon
Because love’s a rope to hang your hopes
Like some almighty weight
It’s a childhood home, a wisdom bone
A bond that’s bound to break
A minor beat, a small defeat of life

And the dry season’s coming, oh it’s coming
What you need, is to keep your options wide
All this time I’ve been thinking, just thinking
In defeat we truly come alive

And I’m alive
The minor beats, the small defeats of life
