I wrote this Our Flag Means Death song in April 2022 and I never posted the full version anywhere. Now that the second season of OFMD is coming out as we speak, I wanted to share it with you. I love this show with all my heart and I hope you like this little love song I wrote for Ed and Stede:
You make me Happy
I sailed away without a plan,
they say there's monsters in the sea;
You pointed at yourself and said:
“The monster is me”
I sailed away to hold your hand.
Your oceans so much deeper than -
anything I've seen
but I don't think monsters are real.
You’re not despicable.
Went through unthinkable hells
and guess what; I'm still glad I met you.
You deserve the world,
You deserve rest too.
Keep holding on -
Please let me hold on to you.
You're the X on the map,
You're a book that's well kept,
You're a glass marmalade,
You're a tea, freshly made;
7 sugars no less
with a smile to obsess
over mist on the sea
and your light makes me see -
You are painted in colours,
too divine to understand,
I'm the luckiest lover
when you reach for my hand.
You're a poem that's sweet;
When the sun and moon meet
bathed in orange;
you wear fine things like a melody.
You’re more than your beard,
You’re more than your legacy,
You’re kind and you're good,
You're incredibly, terribly,
wonderful.
You are in control;
If you'd have me,
Could I make you happy?
You sailed away without a plan,
they said there's monsters in the sea;
You pointed at yourself and said:
“The monster is me”
You sailed away to hold my hand.
Your love runs so much deeper than -
anything I've seen.
Wasn't convinced that you were real.
You're not unlovable;
Sometimes insufferable, true,
guess what it's stupidly easy to love you.
You deserve the world,
You deserve adventure too.
keep holding on -
I think I'll hold on to you.
You're the X on the map,
You're a book that's well kept,
You're a glass marmalade,
You're a tea, freshly made;
7 sugars no less
with a smile to obsess
over mist on the sea
and your light makes me see -
Your mind is a mystery
I could never understand.
You're a lunatic and crazy
and I'd love to hold your hand.
You're endearing and weird,
lavender and teal
in the sunset;
Your smile makes the monster disappear.
You are more than your past,
You're more than your fears,
You are kind and you're brave,
You're amazingly, basically
Everything.
Where I want to be and when
if you'd have me,
Could I make you happy?
You're the X on the map,
You're a book that's well kept,
You're a glass marmalade,
You're a tea, freshly made;
7 sugars no less
with a smile to obsess
over mist on the sea
and your light makes me see -
A fuckery well planned
to fool a ship of hundred men;
Finest clothes made out of silk
and the dollop of milk
in my tea -
You're my safe,
You're my free;
a breakfast in the lookout
and a library at sea.
I'd give up my life,
leave my kids, leave my wife,
leave my ship and my crew
for this one life with you.
I'd sail away without a plan
For this insane and loving man;
I'd fight the Kraken and the tides
if it means holding you one more night.
You are more than your title,
You’re more than your name,
You’re kind and you're brave,
You're incredibly, terribly good and inherently
Wonderful.
If you'd have me;
Could I make you happy?
