Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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's a home, a family, a porch swing [Chorus] '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 [Verse 2] And I believe in miracles But there's no way that I'll ever fit in To the modern way of livin', it's 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 [Chorus] '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 [Bridge] 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, it never killed no one [Outro] 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
