[Verse 1]
You can fit everything you know
In a bottle for you to show
Pick your brain apart and put it in (pick your brain apart)
And build it again with needles and pins

Everything you have earned is a ship
With blue waves crashing into it
But nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore (nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore)
With your glass ceiling, walls, and floor

[Pre-Chorus]
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
Anchor all your thoughts to the bottom
Pulling ropes and pulling your head back
To see what is breaking the foremast
You set sail alone, there is no crew
No one on the deck who can help you
This is all your own battle to win
This is your ship, and you are the captain

[Chorus]
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain deal, oh, captain deal
Oh woah

[Verse 2]
There are red spots under your eyes
From when you cry into the sky
Ocean waters rising above your neck (ocean waters)
You feel the glass start to crack

[Pre-Chorus]
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
Water's leaking through holes in the bottom
Flying flags of ships that have long since
Sat at the floor of the sea, but in defense
You set sail alone, there is no crew
No one on the deck who can help you
This is all your own battle to win
This is your ship and you are the captain

[Chorus 2]
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Oh, captain, make up your mind
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
'cause you're popping the cork, you get lost in your brain
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain deal, oh, captain deal
Oh woah

[Bridge]
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus 2]
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Oh, captain, make up your mind
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
'cause you're popping the cork, you get lost in your brain
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain deal, oh, captain deal
Oh woah
[Outro]
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
