Lifeboat Going Spaceward

I thought I had a plan
I thought that my voyage would just need one man
I was wrong
I was wrong

Still, I set sail
The wind and the waves made a pact so I would fail
I'm almost gone
Almost gone

I need a lifeboat
And someone to take control
I'm letting go of all my pride
Because I won't survive this tide
All on my own
I need a lifeboat
And I don't know where to go
I'm sev'ral hundred miles from shore
This ship will hit the ocean floor
Who would have known
That I'd need a lifeboat?

I should shut my mouth
I don't know port from starboard or even north from south
I'm a fraud
Such a fraud
