Lyrics
Life Vest
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.
They say the bad things
They come in waves of three
If that’s the truth then
This wave will be the last to crash on me
Oh hold me close my dearest one
I fear the worst is yet to come
They say forever
It never lasts that long
Well, they could be right
But baby we are here to prove them wrong
Oh hold me close my dearest one
I fear the worst is yet to come
Our bed’s a tiny island
That can save us from the storm
Hide us from the pain outside
And keep us safe and warm
With my hand across your chest
You’re becoming my life vest
So hold me close and don’t let go
They say its over
But this is just the start
They can’t destroy us
Two bodies with one beating heart
Oh hold me close my dearest one
I fear the worst is yet to come
Ooh the time has come to sink or swim
Ooh so grab my hand and pull me safely in
Let us just drift out to sea
And forget what used to be
My home is wherever you are lying next to me
