You Are the Captain

You are the captain, I am the sea birds I am the row boat, you are the tide You were the searchlight but I had gone missing All that I wanted was to be there You are the headline, I am the misprint You are the lion, I am the mouse You are the bloodline, I am just bleeding All that I wanted was to be there All that I wanted was to be there Now that you've drawn the line Let me say one last time All that I wanted was to be there Did you reel me in just to cut me loose? Is there anything that means that much to you? So go play the apple tree while I struggle to take root But it's not your fault that I'm barely hanging on All that I wanted was to be there I didn't need some big part Not the flame nor the spark All that I wanted was to be there You are the captain, I am the sea birds I am the row boat and you are the tide You are the bloodline, I am just bleeding All that I wanted was to be there All that I wanted was to be there
