The Life Of A Pirate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not easy to be this complicated
Cause I lose my way, I change my mind
And I'm more recently jaded
Or I'll be indecisive, and always end up choosing
The wrong thing
But I can guarantee you'll never hear me say
That all I want's a home, a family, a porch swing
Cause I wanna be a pirate,
That's one thing I've decided
It's the only thing that could ever intrigue me
There's no start or end in sight and
I guess I'll have to try it
Worse case-I'll get swallowed by the deep blue sea
There's no more tryin to fight it
The pain I'll leave behind me
The sweet imperfections of a hot mess of a girl
And I believe in miracles
But there's no way that I'll
Ever fit in
To the modern way of livin,
Its just not me
Work a, 9 to 5, live in complacency
But I gave it my all, I tried-really I swear
For a girl on her own
But after over-analyzin everything there is here
It's time, for my ship, and fresh air
Cause I wanna be a pirate,
That's one thing I've decided
It's the only thing that could ever intrigue me
There's no start or end in sight and
I guess I'll have to try it
Worse case-I'll get swallowed by the deep blue sea
There's no more tryin to fight it
The pain I'll leave behind me
The sweet imperfections of a hot mess of a girl
And if I know me, like I think I know me
I'll try to bargain with myself
I'll tell myself it's really not that bad
And I'll try to stick it out
A little longer in society never killed no one
But I can tell you, it's a guarantee that I'll
Always run
Away from every problem or severed relationship
Cause that's who I am
I wanna be a pirate cause they get to be
Whoever they want on the deep blue sea
Here I come
