Artist/Band: Dave Matthews Band
Lyrics for Song: Captain (lillywhite version)
Lyrics for Album: The Lillywhite Sessions [2001]



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
