Hello captain bring me down
I see you've worked your way right through the crowd to me
I couldn't help but see you fall
You were the one that had it all
And now you've come to pay your debts

So we forgive and you forget

The more you live the more you learn
Ain't it funny how the tables turn on you

Hello captain bring me down
Put your feet back on the ground
Hello captain bring me down

When we were young you were so cool and
All the kids they thought that you were the one to be
But playground heroes never fall
They just drown their youth in alcohol and
Watch it slowly fade away
Live to drink another day

You can't make right the things you've wronged
Your glory days have come and gone away

Hello captain bring me down
Put your feet back on the ground
Hello captain bring me down

You wanna leave it all behind you
But you just won't let it go
Oh no, oh no

Solo

The more you live the more you learn
Ain't it funny how the tables turn on you

Hello captain bring me down
Put your feet back on the ground
Hello captain bring me down
Put your feet back on the ground
Hello captain bring me down

Hello captain bring me down
I see you've worked your way right through the crowd to me
I couldn't help but see you fall
You were the one that had it all
And now you've come to pay your debts
So we forgive and you forget.
