Remember when this captain lost control (Yeah)

Between the promised land and desert road? (Yeah)

Didn't know my moral compass was so broken (Yeah)

'Til the circles in the gravel let me know (Yeah)

And my mind was playin' tricks on us the most

Could've sworn I built a castle, you were right, it was a moat

That drivel about "options or I'm better off alone"

That was just a white lie all along

My third eye was telling me

That I-I-I-I-I-I-I choose you (I choose you)

Though I-I-I-I-I-I-I could never bring myself to say I do (Oh yeah)

I-I-I-I-I-I-I choose you (I choose you)

I've been doggin' for a minute

Now I'm beggin' for forgiveness, oh

Not a secret, all the other humans know (Yeah)

The kind of havoc you can wreak when the unknown (Yeah)

Hits a cerebellum unequipped to cope (Yeah)

You get an ego with a lit fuse

And a lukewarm blooded recluse

Who's sure to misinterpret everything

'Til the kamikaze mission doesn't seem insane

Shouldn't take disaster to decide

When the truth is in the bloodstream

Even through the morphine, I can tell

That I-I-I-I-I-I-I choose you (Choose you, baby)

Though I-I-I-I-I-I-I could never bring myself to say I do (Never bring myself to say)

I-I-I-I-I-I-I choose you (Choose you)

I've been doggin' for a minute

Now I'm beggin' for forgiveness, oh

Yeah

So many words that I could use to say this

'Cause I've been lookin' forward to learning you, oh-woah (Woah)

Believe it's not your fault, baby (Fault, baby)

Me and love, we've been off, baby (Off, baby)

But when it's all said and done (Yeah, yeah, straight up)

You'll be painted to the walls, baby (Yeah)

'Cause I-I-I-I choose you, baby

I-I-I-I-I-I-I choose you (I choose you, babe)

Though I-I-I-I-I-I-I could never bring myself to say I do (Oh, never bring myself to say, never again)

I-I-I-I-I-I-I choose you (Choose you, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I've been doggin' for a minute (Oh-oh)

Now I'm begging for forgiveness, oh (Yeah)

Stop, think about it

Really think about it

Look before you leap, there's no trampoline

Stop, think about it (Think about it)

Really think about it

Hanging on the edge at thirty thousand feet (Oh)

Baby, stop, think about it

Really think about it

Doesn't honesty justify the means?

Stop, think about it (Yeah)

Really think about it

Even on the edge at thirty thousand feet

You know I— (You know I, you know I, you know I)
