Copyright 2005

Capsize the lifeboats cuz we’re all in this together – man overboard
It’s up to us to make it fifty miles or better – now sink, sink or swim
Salvations now a touch away, a touch from never – repent for your sins
Save your self I’m going back for the others

But it’s so hard

So I try to hold my head up
I’m gonna break that tide
I swear I’ll live forever
With nothing left to hide
So I try to hold my breath as I swallow cold water
And all it seems to be is tragic - tragic

So far away from any shoreline and I’m missing – Comforts of home
The weight of many on my shoulders getting heavy – So just let it go
I know we’ll make it if we hold on, gotta hold on – for just one more
Save yourself I’m going back to rescue others

But it’s so hard

So I try to hold my head up
I’m gonna break that tide
I swear I’ll live forever
With nothing left to hide
So I try to hold my head above the icy cold water
And all it seems to be is tragic - tragic

Would it be the same for you?
Would you believe if I pulled it through?
Just for you?
Then you’ll start to realize
That there’s more, more than what meets the eye
I would save you if only I could

I’m gonna break that tide
I swear I’ll live forever
With nothing left to hide
So I try to hold my breath as I swallow cold water
And all it seems to be is tragic – tragic
