"Find My Way" is a story of profound love, profound loss, and the journey of finding yourself again. Despite that, this song isn't a sad one - it's a note of gratitude for the moments we do have and the memories that are created from our time here on earth, the people we get to know while we're here and the relationships that grow more and more special with every moment.
Written in part as a tribute for a dear friend, we hope this song means as much to you as it does to us.
lyrics
Memories of trips we’ve taken, all the things we’ve seen.
Thousands of the miles we traveled, chasing down our dreams.
Thought the road was never ending, we’d have the rest of time.
Reached the end without a warning, I guess we missed the sign.
Ohh I can't find my way...
Ohh, which way do I go, to find my way back home?
Ohh, you’re all that I know, all that I’ve ever known…
Ohh, don’t know what I'll do, our compass was always true...
Now I’ve lost my direction, and asking the question which way to go, to find my way back home to you…
Ooohhhhhhhhhh…
Folding up the map we followed, each crease a memory.
The journey was our destination, home was you and me.
Now I'm sitting at a crossroads, it’s here we must part ways.
Frozen in a single moment, watching your lights fade.
Ohh I can't find my way...
Ohh, which way do I go, to find my way back home?
Ohh, you’re all that I’ve known, all that I’ve ever known…
Ohh, don’t know what I'll do, our compass was always true...
Now I’ve lost my direction, and asking the question which way to go, to find my way back home to you…
Ooohhhhhhhhhh…
Ooohhhhhhhhhh…
Ooohhhhhhhhhh…
Ohh, which way do I go, to find my way back home?
Ohh, you’re all that I’ve known, all that I’ve ever known…
Ohh, don’t know what I'll do, our compass was always true...
Now I’ve lost my direction, and asking the question which way to go, to find my way back home to you…

Ships Have Sailed is the brainchild of vocalist/guitarist Will Carpenter. The band materialized in the waning days of his
previous project –a band he had been an integral part of ever since moving to Los Angeles. The music is uplifting and buoyant. The lyrics are thoughtful and conscientious. The sound is sincere indie rock with an unabashed pop structure....more
