This whole life under water
isn't all it's cracked up to be
Not quite what I wanted
when it get's a little hard to bleed
There once was a time when
it seemed like a good idea
I'll keep this in mind the next
time I go overboard
[Pre-chorus]
So leave, never believe
that I'd ever leave
You're making it so damn hard to breathe
Throw the line and throw me the rope
You're killing the bravest part of me
And I'll find a home, and I'll tip this boat
Man overboard, man overboard
I've never been so far down
without coming up for air
Remember the time when
you meant the world to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, leave
never believe, that I'd ever leave
You're making it so damn hard to breathe
Throw the line and throw me the rope
You're killing the bravest part of me
And I'll find a home, let's tip this boat
[Chorus]
Man overboard, man overboard
Can't take it anymore
I'm swimming back to shore
Man overboard, man overboard
Can't take it anymore
I'm swimming back to shore
So let's take a number,
how it was supposed to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Be kind, throw me the line
and throw me the rope
You're making it so damn hard to breathe
Throw me the line, throw me the rope
You're killing the bravest part of me
And I'll find a home, let's tip this boat.
[Chorus]
Man overboard, man overboard
Can't take it anymore
I'm swimming back to shore
Man overboard, man overboard
Can't take it anymore
I'm swimming back to shore
Man overboard, man overboard
Can't take it anymore
I'm swimming back to shore
Man overboard, man overboard
Can't take it anymore
I'm swimming back to shore
