Lyrics:
I was in a lifeboat but you wouldn’t get in.
I threw you a lifeline but you wanted to swim.
Oh, oh. You wanted to swim.
I was in a lifeboat you were lost the waves.
Hard to understand why you don’t want to be saved.
No, oh. You don’t want to be saved.
Don’t you know there’s sharks out there.
I’m not afraid to say I’m scared.
No matter how hard I row you’re drifting away.
You just keeping swimming.
Why won’t you give me a sign?
Let me throw you a rope. I’m not saving a soul.
I’m just saving a life.
But you just keep swimming.
Why don’t you want to survive?
Are you all out of hope? I’m not saving a soul.
I’m just saving a life.
But you just keep swimming.
I was in a lifeboat. You were out in the deep.
I wanted to help but there’s an ocean between.
Oh, oh. There’s an ocean between.
Don’t you know there’s sharks out there.
I’m not afraid to say I’m scared.
No matter how hard I row you’re drifting away.
You just keeping swimming.
Chorus
I turned on the lights and sent up a flare.
I searched through the night. you’re no longer there.
I’m saving a life.
I’m saving a life.
I’m saving a life, but you don’t care.
Chorus
