Dave Matthews Band - Captain Lyrics
Crazy as I may make my way through this world
It’s for no one but me to say what direction I shall turn
I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
Day after day how I long for you my love how I long
Strange but it seems like there’s a mutiny brewing inside me
But I don’t want your pity only the promise that you’ll stay with me tonight
Now I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
Day after day oh how I long for you like crazy
Oh our love - how you do me
Oh my love - come now lets go again
Oh our love - everything
Oh won’t play with me again got all night
Same old song won’t you come stay all my life after all
Oh how could I even try to fight after falling into your arms?
Oh mesmerized by your smile the way it lights up under your eyes
Oh how could I even try love won’t you stay with me?
Oh our love - how you do me
Oh my love - come now lets go again
Oh our love - everything
Oh won’t play with me again we got all night
The same old song
Won’t you come dance with me my love after all?

Dave Matthews Band Captain Comments
those 3 or 4 notes on the sax really move me. so smooth and perfect
They will never be the same without a fiddle player. sorry to say it. but its true. I grew up listening to this band since 94. yes bands do change over time. but taking out Boyd, and not adding a fiddle player. its sad really.
Dave Matthews is such an underrated guitarist. Try stretching your fingers to get these chords in. Incredibly difficult. What a perfect performance from these guys...as usual. 2:42 - 3:03 = heaven
I hate Tim's guitar in DMB songs!
I totally agree he doesn’t belong
I am OBSESSED with this song.
Can't stop watching this live version. Turn the bass up!
Some of Stefan's best work is on the 5 string on this song.
So crazy. I was at this show and I'll always remember that story, it gives me chills just thinking about it. I wish they included the whole story.
i remember this....wow!
the most underrated dmb tune.
Agreed.
My top 3 best song from Dave
Absolutely love the 70's drama vibe to this performance! Holy crap!
Anyone know what Dave's guitar is?
+Sam Howson rockbridge, theyre custom just for him
+eric ligda thanks mate
Sam Howson it's actually one of their most popular models the Rockbridge SJ which go for about 6,000 dollars
Way to NOT have the video on Carter during his sweet fill @3:45!
+Eric P I can understand not showing Carter during the little funky part that I mentioned, but that fill at 3:45 demands attention! Musically there's nothing else happening then. Instead of showing Carter playing those kickass singles around his lower toms, they showed Stefan just bobbin' his head.
Amo esta musica também.
São muitas as que amo, mas "Captain", "So Right" e "Big Eyed Fish" são as melhores!
Ian Sousa Gray Street, gravedigger...
this song is soooooo0o0o0ooooo good
It's technically perfect!
My favorite song of all time <3<3<3
What a deep and thought provoking song. Amazing DMB.
I was hoping Carter would hit that little funky part at about 1:25 and sho nuff he did. Thanks C.
+drewper73 Hell yeah! Too bad whoever edits these videos can't figure out how to SHOW Carter during his best moments!
Eric P to be fair, they’d have to show Carter the whole song. They probably feel compelled to mix it up a little.
the shot of carter at 4:22 is awesome
MULLIN-CAN'T BEIEVE THIS IS JH,WHY ARE YOU FELCHING STILL,COME OVER AND TELL ME EVERYTHING.HOT STUFF,JAMMING VOCALS AND GUITAR AND GREAT BAND
Love this song! Wonder what it's about?
I love this song. What a setlist treat.
That was a great night. Setlist included Long Black Veil and later in the night True Reflections!
He warms my heart and soul, love this man and this band:)
Oh they cut out what he said right before which changed the whole meaning of the song to me...he stated that they had a woman friend that was local...she had cancer and they visited her (this isnt verbatim), and when asked about the cancer she told Dave "I" am the captain of this ship! and there was a little more to it....unfortunately she passed....but being a cancer patient myself it changed the song for me...but in a good way....
One of my favorites, but where is Boyd?
mesmerized <3
So it's a bummer they didn't include Dave's full story at the beginning of this video, but before this song, Dave said,
"There was a really good friend of ours that lived not far from here a while ago, an old friend. And she was fighting illness for a long time, and she lived full and great, but eventually she succumbed to it. But one of the things she said to me was, 'I am the captain of this ship!'"
So that's why he says that at the beginning of the video.
fantastic
Thank you for explanation!
He said the same thing at Deer Creek 6/21/13 Friday show. Huh
curious hands and finger tips- CIGARRET LIT- SOME DEVIL BONUS DISC
'Day after day how I long for you my love how I long
Oh won’t play with me again... we got all night..'
I love this song!! My fave ever!! ♡
Amazing, like always!
Awesome! Peaceful.
curious hands and finger tips.....he used this phrase in two of his songs.....anyone remember what the other song was?
Perfect, great performance of one of my favorite songs!
God Tim
41st view :)
Crazy as I may.
