the life of a pirate

Cady Groves

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 is 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
