You are the captain, I am the sea birds
I am the row boat, you are the tide
You were the searchlight but I had gone missing
All that I wanted was to be there
You are the headline, I am the misprint
You are the lion, I am the mouse
You are the bloodline, I am just bleeding
All that I wanted was to be there
All that I wanted was to be there
Now that you've drawn the line
Let me say one last time
All that I wanted was to be there
Did you reel me in just to cut me loose?
Is there anything that means that much to you?
So go play the apple tree while I struggle to take root
But it's not your fault that I'm barely hanging on
All that I wanted was to be there
I didn't need some big part
Not the flame nor the spark
All that I wanted was to be there
You are the captain, I am the sea birds
I am the row boat and you are the tide
You are the bloodline, I am just bleeding
All that I wanted was to be there
All that I wanted was to be there
