The Captain

The Captain -Kasey Chambers

Well I don't have as many friends because

I'm not as pretty as I was

I've kicked myself at times

Because I've lied

So I will have to learn to stand my ground

I'll tell 'em I won't be around

I'll move on over to your town and hide

And you be the captain

And I'll be no one

And you can carry me away

If you want to

And you can lay low

Just like your father

And if I tread upon your feet

You just say so

'Cos you're the captain I am no one

I tend to feel as though I owe one

To you

To you

Well I have handed all my efforts in

I searched here for my second wind

Is there somewhere here to let me in I asked

So I slammed the doors they slammed at me

I found the place I'm meant to be

I figured out my destiny at last

And you be the captain

And I'll be no one

And you can carry me away

If you want to

And you can lay low

Just like your father

And if I tread upon your feet

You just say so

'Cos you're the captain I am no one

I tend to feel as though I owe one

To you

To you

Did I forget to thank you

For the ride

I hadn't tried I tend to runaway and hide

And you be the captain

And I'll be no one

And you can carry me away

If you want to

And you can lay low

Just like your father

And if I tread upon your feet

You just say so

'Cos you're the captain I am no one

I tend to feel as though I owe one

To you

'Cos you're the captain I am no one

I tend to feel as though I owe one

To you

To you

'Cos you're the captain

I am no one

And I owe one

To you
