The Avett Brothers - May It Last

There is a sea, and I am a captain
Something unknown, waves high as mountains
There is a key and there is a light
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
You look up and smile
Wishing alone
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 light
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 strained
Colors are thrown
We're all well fitted
Primed and armored
Traveling fast
The judgement is past
Now it's time to go on

There is a sea and I am a captain
Of something unknown, waves high as mountains
There is a key and there is a light
Here's to times that I catch it
May it last through the night

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 I'll serve you
Take me I'll serve

There is a sea and I am a captain
Of something unknown, waves high as mountains
There is a key and there is a light
Here's to times that I catch it
May it last through the night
