Captain

I had a bright idea, oh yeah I had a spark
'Bout how to join the beats of our tired hearts, our lonely minds
And then we find
All the time we needed to talk
I had a bright idea, but it went away
And now I fear I will not see you again
In truth I know
I watched you go
Rush away, catch a train
Now I need a captain for this old boat
To take her to harbour
And keep it afloat
I had a bright idea, but you moved to the South
And now I fear I'll miss the sound of your mouth forever more
You left that door wide open for me to fall
I need a captain for this old boat
To take her to harbour
And keep it afloat
I had a bright idea, oh it came from a storm
Our hearts are aching and we are battle worn
I know you know
I watched you go
But that's how we grow
We let them go
Now I need a captain for this old boat
To take her to harbour
And keep it afloat
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I'll be your boat
Take you to harbour
And keep you afloat
'Cause it was love at first blood
I know you would
You wished you could
Now I need a captain for this old boat
To take her to harbour
And keep it afloat
Oh Captain, my Captain!
I'll be your boat
Take you to harbour
And keep you afloat

Cold air cut your lungs
As you stand along the barricade
Hear our call to arms
We've all been here before
And wear these battle scars as pride
To show we're not afraid
Of what may come
Standing under the gun
Hearts are on our sleeves
To show that we can keep the faith
To show that we believe
Hear our battle cry
Show them all we're not afraid
Of what may come our way
Oh we stand tall
When we hear the call
When we fight, we fight like lions
May the bridges we burn help to light the way
Light up battle fields of darker days
So together we'll stand here and say
That we fight like lions
All just bitter souls
Caught waiting in the cold for someone to come along
And warm these aching bones
Winter took her toll on me
And left a bitter taste in the back of my mouth
So we scream out
When we fight, we fight like lions
May the bridges we burn help to light the way
Light up battle fields of darker days
So together we'll stand here and say
That we fight like lions

Savages

I want to drive to the ocean
Drown in the waves
I'd swim out to the open
Dive to feel safe
'Cause I'll go
To any length to show you
These shallow hearts below
Were worth it for you
I set my sights on the furthest point
Toward the sky
Build this tower boys
I want to climb
'Cause I know
Heaven it won't go away
If I don't come home
Safely to you
We love like savages
It tears us apart
These hearts we ravage
Leave me a mark
So I know
Just how far to go
To let this love grow
And bloom

Hold

Step out the door like a ghost
No one notices the cold
Another day, another loss
Another breathe, but at what cost
I hold on for another
Feel the smoke down on my lung
Another girl; lust on my tongue
And standing blinking to the Sun
For war and love it must be sung

We sat around and watched you come to life
And painted your dreams high above the sky
In diamond white and pale blue
We made a list, made it right for an hour or two
Our conversations circle and orbit you
I ain't saying it's love, no, but it's close enough
We can chase our white whales to the ends of the Earth
Or try to reach for the stars 'til our wings are burnt
You say you're lonely and just sit around, kick the dirt
There's a line in a son 'bout you in a skirt
I ain't saying it's love, but it's close enough
You made my head and my heart collapse
