You Steer Your Ship

One day I'll write the things I wanna write

Send them in a letter to you

One day I'll find the mystery inside

Is half of the way to the truth

It's always seemed unfamiliar

The closer than I've known before

Someone who knows you

Is someone to show you

Someone to pick up your fall

You've got to undo these knots that we've tied

While everyone tries not to let themselves slide

You steer your ship in a way I admire

You got your fire and that's what I like

Everyone ran to the hillside

To pick out a view of the crowd

Time was an arrow to shoot at the sun

Never came back to the ground

Light up the night to imagine

A place of more beauty and sound

Some forms of motion belong to the sky

Others left feet on the ground

You've got to undo these knots that we've tied

While everyone tries not to let themselves slide

You steer your ship in a way I admire

You got your fire and you know what I like
