It's not easy to be this complicated
Cause I lose my way, I change my mind
And I'm more easily jaded

Or I'll be indecisive and always end up choosing,
The wrong thing
But I 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
It's one thing I 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 be swallowed by the deep blue sea
There's no more tryna fight it
The pain I'll leave behind me
The sweet imperfections of a hot mess of the girl

Now 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
Workin' nine to five
Livin' in complacency
But I gave it my all
I tried--really I swear
For a girl on her own
But after over-analyzing everything there is here
It's time for my ship and and fresh air

CHORUS

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 never killed no one

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
