May It Last

Producer:Rick Rubin

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
