In "Shipwrecked," Izzy Escobar mourns a love that was fragile from the start, like lace and leather held by a thread. Walking home in a partner's sweater, she cries to the moon, realizing they're sinking in quicksand and standing in the eye of a sweet goodbye. The S.O.S. comes too late because the relationship has already crashed, leaving only silence by the phone and a sunrise that makes the other run. The song aches with the knowledge that some connections simply drift apart.
Shipwrecked Lyrics by Izzy Escobar
I was walking home in your sweater last September
Crying out to the moon
We were like lace and leather, held together
By a thread that blew
And in the wind we couldn’t run, from the shadows in the sun
All we could was stand, sinking in quicksand
oh the days were passing by, like a storm in the night
Standing in the eye, of a sweet goodbye
I can’t do this anymore
Cause I can barely see the shore
And I sent out an S.O.S
But we’re already shipwrecked
(Woah Woah Woah)
Cause we’re already shipwrecked
(Woah Woah Woah)
I was hoping late that evening, I’d changed the seasons
So we’d go back to the start
But now we’re like stone and feather, bad together
Some wins just drift apart
And in the wind we couldn’t run, from the shadows in the sun
All we could was stand, sinking in quicksand
oh the days were passing by, like a storm in the night
Standing in the eye, of a sweet goodbye
I can’t do this anymore
Cause I can barely see the shore
And I sent out an S.O.S
but we’re already shipwrecked
(Woah Woah Woah)
Cause we’re already shipwrecked
(Woah Woah Woah)
Cause we’re already shipwrecked
We both know that when we go home
We both stare at the telephone
The calls oh they never come
The Sunrise only makes you run
We crashed when we lost the fun
The waves pass and the day is done (so tell me was it even)
