[Verse 1]
I'm inspired
Inspired to give up all I ever aspire to
All entwined
I got myself into a real rap mess with you

[Verse 2]
When I saw you that morning in my bed
With that black grossness of hair on your head
I said that woman is destiny calling
I gotta go
For once to something about someone that I wanna know

[Pre-Chorus]
What we said in the darkness, that's true

[Chorus]
If I was the captain of this ship, I would steer it away from you
If I was the captain of this ship, I would steer it away from you
If I was the captain, if I was the captain of you

[Verse 3]
In the morning
I'm walking around to aid nothing but thinkin' of you
New day dawnin'
And the night's burning with the story of ecstasy too
[Verse 4]
If the glass was half empty, now it's full
The rules of love are simple and cruel
You have nothing on, you have it all
I'm starting to say
It won't be that simple 'tween you and me

[Pre-Chorus]
I can touch a spiral connector

[Chorus]
If I was the captain of this ship, I would steer it away from you
If I was the captain of this ship, I would steer it away from you
If I was the captain, if I was the captain of you

[Bridge]
What we said in the darkness, that's true
I can touch a spiral connector

[Outro]
If I was the captain of this ship, I would steer it away from you
If I was the captain of this ship, I would steer it away from you
If I was the captain of this ship, I would steer it away from you
If I was the captain
If I was the captain of you
