lyrics

LIFEBOATS

i just need a moment to think, everything's
moving so fast
i just need a moment to give my heart a breath
it's been beating all night in an ocean of fear
i've been losing sight to keep my vision clear
and i get this feeling right before i break
this whisper tug behind me, i've already made
this mistake

i never believed in lifeboats
if you're at sea, you'd better swim
i apologize for all the water i've been letting in
save me, if you think that i can change
or change me into something you would save

i just need a moment to be something that's not
underneath
i just need a moment to believe i'm worth a damn
i don't know if i am, i've been sinking this ship
like it's my mission since i asked you to get in
and i get this feeling when that look's upon
your face
this is no surprise at all and it is nothing i can
unbreak

i never believed in lifeboats
if you're at sea you'd better swim
i apologize for all the water i've been letting in
save me, if you think that i can change
or change me into something you would save
something you would save

when the storm is over and we're coming up for air
will you be gone? will you be there?

i never believed in lifeboats
if you're at sea, you'd better swim
i apologize for all the water i've been letting in
save me, if you think that i can change
or change me into something you would save
something you would save
something you would save
