Story Behind The Song
This song was originally written for a musical called "Planet Eden" but Planet Eden has been renamed "Alienated" in its latest rewrite and this song as sweet as it is does not fit into the story any longer.
Song Description
The song begins with a woman singing about her husband/boyfriend/lover explaining that she was trying to get close to her; when he left her floundering, she left.
He apologizes for letting their flame of love go out, and sings about how lonely he was without her when she left. But he has prepared a ship for the two of them and they are going to sail off into the sunset together, him the captain and her his mate.

Lyrics
her:
UNDENIABLY I FOLLOWED EVERY LEAD
UNCOMPLAININGLY, I GAVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED
UNSURPRISINGLY, I FOUND MYSELF UNSURE
WAITING AT YOUR DOOR, ALWAYS WANTING MORE
UNCERTAIN AS BEFORE
THEN UNEXPECTEDLY YOU LEFT ME IN THE DARK
UNPREPAREDLY I TRIED TO DISEMBARK
UNMISTAKABLY I QUICKLY CAME UNTIED
SWALLOWED ALL MY PRIDE
PUSHED MY FEARS ASIDE
AND THOUGH MY LEAVING WAS UNTHINKABLE
AND OUR STORY'S END BECAME UNLINKABLE FOR A TIME
NOW I SEE YOU'VE BUILT A SHIP FOR TWO
AND THE TRUTH IS WE'RE UNSINKABLE
I AM UNSINKABLE WITH YOU
him:
UNFORGIVABLY I LET OUR FLAME GO OUT
UNDESERVEDLY, I'M YOURS WITHOUT A DOUBT
UNBELIEVABLY
YOU CAUGHT ME UNAWARE
I ASK YOU NOW TO CARE, BE UNAFRAID TO SHARE
A WORLD WITHOUT YOU WAS UNTHINKABLE
EVERY DROP OF RAIN BECAME UNDRINKABLE FOR A TIME
NOW YOU'RE HERE AND IN OUR SHIP FOR TWO
WE CAN KNOW THAT WE'RE UNSINKABLE
I AM UNSINKABLE WITH YOU
her:
AS LONG AS WE SAIL THROUGH THE STORM
both:
TOGETHER
WE'LL BE SAFE AND WARM
him:
UNTIL THE SEAS ABATE
her:
THE CAPTAIN AND HIS MATE
him:
WILL GO UNBREAKABLY
her
UNSHAKEABLY
him
UNBENDINGLY
her
UNENDINGLY
both:
BOTH HEADED DOWNWIND AS ONE
A WORLD WITHOUT YOU WAS UNTHINKABLE
AND OUR STORY'S END BECAME UNLINKABLE FOR A TIME
him
NOW YOU'RE HERE
Together
AND IN A SHIP FOR TWO
AND THE TRUTH IS WE'RE UNSINKABLE
her:
I AM UNSINKABLE...
him:
I AM UNSINKABLE...
together:
WITH YOU
