[Intro]
My name is Donald Crowhurst, I'm alive and well
I lost radio signal in Pacific swells
I've seen thirty foot waves, a blue whale
I saw the end of the world open up its sails
Got lost in the summer of '69
I led you all to believe that I was doing fine
This isn't the way I wanted it to end
I went to see the globe in gold and vivid reds
[Verse 1]
What have I got myself into? Why did it turn out this way?
I hedged my bets on something bigger, to climb the Everest of waves
I knew exactly what I wanted to find and I fear I've been deceived
It wasn't in the plan to lie to you all, but become the first king of the sea
[Chorus]
My name is Donald Crowhurst, I'm alive and well
I lost radio signal in Pacific swells
I've seen thirty foot waves, a blue whale
I saw the end of the world open up its sails
I got lost in the summer of '69
I led you all to believe that I was doing fine
This isn't the way I wanted it to end
I went to see the globe in gold and vivid reds
[Verse 2]
I might've lost count, but 243 days, I've found that I've
Been aimlessly drifting apart from where should I be and where did I start?
And why did this end? How is this real? Why is this happenin' to me?
I didn't get your RSVP when I crowned myself the first king of the sea
[Chorus]
My name is Donald Crowhurst, this might be it
I never even left the Atlantic
I've been lyin' for months, I've been struggling to cope
I saw the end of the world, and I think I broke
I got lost in the summer of '69
I led you all to believe that I was doing fine
This isn't the way I wanted it to end
I went to see the globe in gold and vivid reds
I went to see the globe in gold and vivid reds
