Not Waving, Drowning
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.
You get the wrong impression of me
You think I would not miss you if you did not come
It's obvious you don't see clearly
'Cause if you did you'd see how all at sea I am.
Now if you took a careful look
You might just see the horizon and me
And if you took another look
You might discern - my concern.
I'm not waving I'm drowning
Oh won't you save me?
You are the only one who can
I'm not waving I'm drowning
Why don't you save me?
You are the only one who can.
Though our relationship is sinking
It could be salvaged if we do not lose our head
It would be wrong of you in thinking
It's past recovery, that would be short sighted.
Now if you took a careful look
You might just see the horizon and me
And if you took another look
You might discern - my concern.
I'm not waving I'm drowning
Oh won't you save me?
You are the only - one who can
I'm not waving I'm drowning
Why don't you save me?
You are the only one who can.
I'm not waving I'm drowning
Oh won't you save me?
You are the only - one who can
I'm not waving I'm drowning
Why don't you save me?
You are the only one who can.
(Not waving, drowning)
(Not waving, drowning)
(Not waving, drowning)
