Dave Matthews Band and Dave Matthews - Captain (Lillywhite Sessions) Lyrics

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 long for here
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 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.
