Captain Lyrics by CircusP

CMYK

2023

[Verse 1]
Anticipation is killing me
Afraid of my responsibility
With everyone's eyes locked onto me
I cover mine up so I can't see

Don't look at me
Just let me breathe
I know I'm not the man
You want me to be

[Chorus]
No, I don't wanna steer the ship
Lead us straight into the sun
No, I don't wanna be captain
I'd rather be the quiet one

If we're shooting for the stars
If I'm charting our course
Somehow we'll end up on mars
Shouting that "we're done for!"

[Post-Chorus]
No, I don't wanna steer the ship
I know when to fight and when to run

Oh... I'm bracing for impact before it's begun

[Verse 2]
A still in the air like a declaration
To those who are scared: It's just all in your head
Comforts I can't bear in this situation
Don't follow me there, right into a dead end

A state of zen
I can't pretend
I'm not hanging on by a thread

[Chorus]
No, I don't wanna steer the ship
Demanding me to be the one
No, I don't wanna be captain
I'll pass it off to anyone

If it's down to the wire
If the sky is on fire
If the situations dire
I'm not who you require

[Post-Chorus]
No, I don't wanna steer the ship
I know when to fight and when to

When to fight and when to run

[Bridge]
But I don't wanna steer the ship, no
And I don't wanna be captain though

Oh, If we're shooting for the stars
If I'm charting our course
I will have to take us far
No matter how unsure

No, I don't wanna be captain
But in the end, it has to be done

"No! I don't wanna steer the ship!!"
A coward's words and quitter's talk
No, I don't wanna be captain
But I guess I could give it a shot

[Chorus]
If we're sailing out to sea
If we're shipping off to space
If you're in a time of need
I will be your saving grace

[Post-Chorus]
"No, I don't wanna be captain!"
Feels like such an afterthought

[Outro]
No, I don't wanna
I don't wanna but someone's gotta

No, I don't wanna
I don't wanna but someone's gotta

"No, I don't wanna be captain!"
Feels like such an afterthought
