Lyrics The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers

May It Last

There is a sea, and I am a captain

Of something unknown, waves high as mountains

There is a key, and there is a light

Here's to times that I catch it

May it last through the night

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

There is a sea, and I am a captain

Of something unknown, waves high as mountains

There is a key, and there is a light

Here's to times that I catch it

May it last through the night

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

There is a sea, and I am a captain

Of something unknown, waves high as mountains

There is a key, and there is a light

Here's to times that I catch it

May it last through the night

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 I'll serve you

Take me I'll serve

There is a sea, and I am a captain

Of something unknown, waves high as mountains

There is a key, and there is a light

Here's to times that I catch it

May it last through the night
