The Avett Brothers — May It Last lyrics

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
