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
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 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
