Captain by Idlewild
Captain lyrics
By the harbor
I harbor the strangest memories
Older than I could ever be
Stranded in nostalgia
So tonight I?ll try harder
But it's hard to fix this spotlight on me
In a cast that's taken places
I?m unsure of where I want to be
Stand up, stand up
And stand down
I'll climb El Captain
And jump off to cheers from the crowd
Stand up, stand up
And stand out
And I hope you take your camera
To photograph my tears as they hit the ground
No one even listens
The same way that no one ever laughs
I'm taking the car out of the snow
And wondering where the summer went to circled by your secrets
I'm hoping they don't include me
At least I'm in good company
Because there's no one else around
Except me
Stand up, stand up
And stand out
I'll climb El Captain
Just to watch the world slow itself
Stand up, stand up
And stand out
And I hope you took your camera
Silence makes the loudest sound
It seems far too easy to say the same things
I?ll choose my own way to use my life up
Finally found a new way, say the same things
In imaginary ways, I?ll use my life up
You were looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future in your pictures
Of the distance, hoping to see
The future looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future through your pictures
Of the distance hoping to see
The future looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future in your pictures
Of the distance, hoping to see
The future looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future in your pictures
