As captain of this band of merry sailors, I'm a black mark, I'm a failure, but before you watch me drown
I'm relinquishing command for something I don't understand, this man's about to turn his whole life upside down
I set a course for a new shore, it looked the same as the one before
And I forgot what I'd been sailing for, and why I thought this time would be different
I do most of this by feeling let go of the wheel, the constellations do the navigation on their own
Whilst yearning for adventure, dreading censure and absentia, I would rather be at sea than be alone
I set a course for a new shore, it looked the same as the one before
And I forgot what I'd been sailing for, and why I thought this time would be different
And I forgot what I'd been sailing for, and why I thought this time would be different
Off the charts we drew, they said there wasn't anything but fairy tales
I showed them it was you, I told them you were everything a fairy tale could be
The boat sails by, the shore remains and so do I, I swear this time would be different
I will be different
I set on hearing on the new shore, my lips were blue and my legs were sore
And I forget if i was pushed or I jumped overboard
And after all this time what's the difference?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Splendid hope
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
you
