"The Life Of A Pirate" lyrics - 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'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

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
