Lyrics
How can I save a drowning man
Who doesn’t want to be saved?
How can I keep my head up high
When the waves around me rage?
I reach out my hand but you won’t take it
I say I’ll drown too but I can’t fake it
CHORUS
No, I want to live, feel the sun on my skin
My heart is still beating, I want more
I’m saving myself this time
And heading for shore
It nearly kills me now to leave
I’ll surely die if I don’t
You’d let me sacrifice myself
But this time I won’t
I reach out my hand but you won’t take it
I say I’ll drown too but I can’t fake it
CHORUS
No argument, no farewell kiss
No pleading, no tearful goodbye
I never thought we’d end like this
You turn away, and so do I
CHORUS
Heading for shore
Heading for shore
