My Captain Songtext

[Prechorus 1]

I do place faith in this vessel

But none of this mess will

Eradicate itself

Hazard and peril especial

I'm placing a distress call

This is a cry for help



[Chorus]
My captain, my captain

It's not my fault

I swear there's more than a

Couple circumstances involved

But between you and the plank

I think I'd rather take the walk

My captain, my captain

I got on board

But that was long before

I understood what I was in for

Go down with the ship if you want

But I'm gonna swim for shore

Yes, I'm sure



[Verse 2]

We stopped facing forward to

Glance back on what we overcame

The nausea's taking over

But these tempestuous seas ain't to blame



[Prechorus 2]

But if tomorrow the starboard

Is tied to the harbor

My sincerest apologies

But the waves, they hit sharper

And the days just get harder

Neither one is showing signs of release



[Repeat Chorus x2]
