By the harbour I harbor The strangest memories Older than I could ever be Stranded in nostalgia So tonight I'll try harder But it's hard to fix this spotlight on me In a cast that's taking places I'm not sure of where I want to be Stand up, stand up and stand out Applaud El Captain And jump up to cheers from the crowd Stand up, stand up and stand out And I hope you take your camera To photograph my tears as they hit the ground No one even listens The same way that no one ever laughs I'm taking the car out of the snow I'm wondering where the summer went to Circled by your secrets I'm hoping that they don't include me At least I'm in good company Because there's no one else around except me Stand up, stand up and stand out Applaud el captain Just to watch the world slow itself Stand up, stand up and stand out And I hope you took your camera The silence makes the loudest sound It seems far too easy to say the same things I'll choose my own way to use my life up And finally I found a new way to say the same things in imaginary ways I use my life up You were looking at pictures in the distance Hoping to see the future In your pictures of the distance Hoping to see the future Looking at pictures in the distance Hoping to see the future Through your pictures of the distance Hoping to see the future Looking at pictures in the distance Hoping to see the future In your pictures of the distance Hoping to see the future Looking at pictures in the distance Hoping to see the future In your pictures of the distance Hoping to see the future In your pictures
