The Captain - Kasey Chambers

Well I don’t have as many friends because

I’m not as pretty as I was

I’ve kicked myself at times because I’ve lied

So I will have to learn to stand my ground

I’ll tell 'em I won’t be around

I’ll move on over to your town and hide

And you be the captain

And I’ll be no-one

And you can carry me away if you want to And you can lay low

Just like your father and if I tread upon your feet you just say so

'cos you’re the captain, I am no-one,

I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

Well I have handed all my efforts in I searched here for my second wind

Is there somewhere here to let me in I asked

So I slammed the doors they slammed at me

I found the place I’m meant to be

I figured out my destiny at last

Did I forget to thank you for the ride

I hadn’t tried I tend to runaway and hide
