Lyrics
Above The Waterline
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everything's just right
Sun burns in a perfect blue sky.
I look; looking good, 'nother day in the neighbourhood.
For every guy, there is a girl;
It's a Monday in a Saturday world.
Sometimes I feel like I'm goin' overboard again,
Sometimes I feel like I'm drownded'** in the heaven,
Another day, another time
Tryin' to keep above the water line
Tryin' to keep above the water line
Get lost in a crowd
Sometimes you get a little to far out
You need a hand, need a line
I'll be there in no time
See it all from a ship
It's a wild wild world out there
And sometimes I feel like I'm goin' overboard again,
Sometimes I feel like I'm drownded'** in the heaven,
Another day, another time
Tryin' to keep above the water line
Tryin' to keep above the water line
