"the captain" lyrics

And I don't have as many friends
Because I'm not as pretty as I was
Sometimes I wanna tear off all my skin
Wish I could shape the bones and ligaments
And wear the clothes I don't fit in
I guess I'll just wait in this town and hide

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
'Cause you're the captain
I am no one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
Ohh, to you

And I've been having dreams of you
And places that we used to go to
I wake up to my cold sheets and the smell of New Jersey
I think about what you've been doing
I'm proud of you for moving through this
The best way that you can
I'll always cherish what we had

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
'Cause you're the captain
I am no one
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
Ohh, to you
