The Avett Brothers - May It Last lyrics

There is a sea, and I am a captain Of something unknown, waves high as mountains There is a key, and there is a lie Here's to times that I catch it May it last through the night I'm as low as they come I'm what shouldn't be done Filthy and lost Still up for trying You're the one reason why I look up and smile Wishing for love And I'm ready to forge ahead There is a sea, and I am a captain Of something unknown, waves high as mountains There is a key, and there is a lie Here's to times that I catch it May it last through the night Dark thoughts are hidden Masked in the shadows Times they get strange Cause a friend Where all we'll fit in Blind in our armor Traveling fast Judgement is past Now it's time to go home There is a sea, and I am a captain Of something unknown, waves high as mountains There is a key, and there is a lie Here's to times that I catch it May it last through the night When the engine won't turn When the fire won't burn Like it did when we felt it Deep in our hearts Untie the rudder Guide them away Take me off [?] Take me off sir There is a sea, and I am a captain Of something unknown, waves high as mountains There is a key, and there is a lie Here's to times that I catch it May it last through the night
