El Captain lyrics

Artist  : Idlewild 
Song : El Captain



 Send "El Captain" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

By the harbour I harbor

The strangest memories

Older than I could ever be

Stranded in nostalgia

So tonight i'll try harder

But it's hard to fix this spotlight on me

In a cast that's taking places

I'm not sure of where I want to be

Stand up, stand up and stand out

Applaud El Captain

And jump up to cheers from the crowd

Stand up, stand up and stand out

And I hope you take your camera

To photograph my tears as they hit the ground



No one even listens

The same way that no one ever laughs

I'm taking the car out of the snow

I'm wondering where the summer went to

Circled by your secrets

I'm hoping that they don't include me

At least I'm in good company

Because there's no one else around except me



Stand up, stand up and stand out

Applaud el captain

Just to watch the world slow itself

Stand up, stand up and stand out

And I hope you took your camera

The silence makes the loudest sound



It seems far too easy to say the same things

I'll choose my own way to use my life up

And finally I found a new way to say the same
things in imaginary ways

I use my life up



You were looking at pictures in the distance

Hoping to see the future

In your pictures of the distance

Hoping to see the future



Looking at pictures in the distance

Hoping to see the future

Through your pictures of the distance

Hoping to see the future



Looking at pictures in the distance

Hoping to see the future

In your pictures of the distance

Hoping to see the future



Looking at pictures in the distance

Hoping to see the future

In your pictures of the distance

Hoping to see the future
