head above the waves

you quit the band and got a job

decided to take a wife

then you stood still

and i went on

and almost lost my life

no i don't wanna be in your shoes

and i don't wanna read local news

and though i know we had the same views

who's the fool?

try and keep your head above the waves

try and tell yourself that you're safe

i know you do your best to keep faith

so round and round we go

it's a shame

oh but you never know

there you go praised again

your head pressed against the glass

you always tried to put me down

but i knew that it couldn't last

cause i don't wanna be in your shoes

and i don't wanna read local news

and though i know we had the same views

who's the fool

try 'n keep your head above the waves

try and tell yourself that you're safe

i know you do your best to keep faith

so try and keep your head above the waves

oh

feels so good

yeah yeah yeah yeah

i knew it would

oh it just don't mean that much anymore
