this song is simpy radical. easily one of my favorites by Owl City. I think Captains and Cruiseships is about two people in a relationship taking a break/exploring new options. the person "in LA" probably didn't really want to take a break, but is doing it for the sake of his partner. He stays in LA to wait for her to get back from "west palm beach", hoping that she realizes that there isn't anyone better for her out there than him. in the meanwhile, he feels lonely and lost without her. my favorite part of this song:
Old captains and brand new cruise ships
Sailing over the BRINY sea
Wwhen I crashed my beloved desk job
And swim through the DEBRIS
Ill cut loose leave this mad house all for the atlantic blue
Ill stroll down your treelined driveway, and sail the ocean with you.
He eventually starts going crazy without her with him, so he's considering instead of waiting for her to "come back to LA", that he should go to "West Palm Beach" and make a better effort and show her that they belong together.
