Lifeguard



I never say the right words,
but I always knew.
I was hoping you're in my head
and you know it too.
I never show you the right thing,
but I always wanted to.
I know that you are fighting
for both me and you.
Cause I have a dark side...
... in me
and it screams.
You have the light...
...and it shines
when you here.

Cause you're the one who loves
And you're the one who holds
And you...
... won't stop.
Cause I'm the one insane
And I'm the one to blame
But I can...
...be save.

So throw me the lifeline,
Cause I'm drawning in the dark.
So throw me the lifeline,
Cause I'm drawning in the past.
Your love is my lifeguard,
Come and find me when I try.
Your love is my lifeguard,
Come and find me when I cry.

So throw me the lifeline...
Cause I'm drawning...
Your love is my lifeguard...
Come and find me...
