Captain Lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

Captain

Crazy as I may,
Make my way through this world,
Oh, its for no one but me to say,
What direction I should turn in now.

Cause I am the captain of this ship,
Wanting eyes and kissing lips.
The same as it was,
And will remain until Im done and gone.

Strange, but it seems,
Theres mutiny brewing inside of me now.
I dont want your pity,
Just the promise that Ill be alright.

Cause I am the captain of this ship,
Curious hands and fingertips.
The same as it was,
And will be until Im gone.

Oh, I know Im a dreamer,
Still think its strange?
I wont be here for long.
Oh, I know that I feel,
Oh, wait and go again, again.

Oh, look, Im buried,
Like a cancer eating away inside of me.
I dont want your pity,
Only the promise that Ill be okay now.

But I am the captain of this ship,
Curious hands and fingertips.
The same as it was before here,
Here, back after all.

Why should I be hypnotized,
By the promise of a long life?
Why should I hold hope,
In tiny, tiny dribbles that glide by?
Why should I lean on everything... upon
I wont be here long....

Oh, I know Im a dreamer,
Still seems a truth.
I wont be long for here.
Oh, its so, but I think I lay this,
On now your lips.
Im drowning.

I am the captain of... oh... but, Ill be okay after all
