Idlewild

Idlewild - El Captain lyrics

rate me

By the harbour I harbour 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 taken places

I'm unsure of where I want to be

Stand up,

stand up,

And stand down,

Applaud El Capitan,

And jump off 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

And wondering where the summer went to

Circled by your secrets

I'm hoping 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 Capitan,

Just to watch the world slow itself,

Stand up,

Stand up,

And stand out,

And I hope you take your camera

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

Finally found a new way

Say the same things

In imaginary ways

I'll 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 pictureH

Of the distance

Hoping to see

The future in your pictures of the distance
