I was in a lifeboat, but you wouldn't get in

I threw you a lifeline, but you wanted to swim

Oh, you wanted to swim

I was in a lifeboat, you were lost in the waves

Hard to understand why you don't wanna be saved

No, you don't wanna 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 wanna 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, 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

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 wanna 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 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

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

But you just keep swimming
