Taking off from the dock it
It looked like such a clear day
Calm waters and blue sky
As far as the eye could see

I left my compass on the shore
What would I need it for
I didn't bring a lifeboat
I thought my ship was unsinkable

Who would have known
Something so beautiful on the surface
Given half the chance
Would pull me under like I was worthless

And now I feel my heart sinking
Slowly taking water in

I'm calling out may day, mayday
Can anybody hear me, hear me
I'm calling out may day, mayday
Feels like I'm caught in a perfect storm
I'm calling out may day, mayday
Can anybody save me
Just like ships wreck, hearts break
All along I was headed for such a perfect storm

I know that I'm not the first
I'm sure I wont be the last
I see someone in the distance
Looks like our sails got slashed

We're on course for disaster
Iceburg up ahead but I cant turn any faster
Your kisses make me close my eyes
I think ill drown in your arms tonight

Who would have known
Something so beautiful on the surface
Given half the chance
Would pull me under till I was breathless
The wind is picking up again
And now the waves come crashing in

I'm calling out may day, mayday
Can anybody hear me, hear me
I'm calling out may day, mayday
Feels like I'm caught in a perfect storm
I'm calling out may day, mayday
Can anybody save me
Just like ships wreck, hearts break
All along I was headed for such a perfect storm

Can you hear me
When I'm screaming
Someone hear my sos
I'm calling out
Can you hear me

Calling out, calling out
Somebody save me
All along I was headed for such a perfect storm
Such a perfect storm
Your such a perfect storm
