Lyrics
The clouds are closing in, the closet sky is paper thin
And I can't seem to trust the wind today
The little voice inside has given up on where to hide
It doesn't know or can't decide the words it wants to say
If left up to me, boy, I'd get down on my knees and die
No more holding on. I won't have to try but then I look into your eyes
And all at once I know, baby, you're my lifeboat
The quiet raindrops fall. I stop and try to catch them all
I never knew that things so small could pray
The boy with big ideas who rapes you for your eyes and ears
then justifies his lack of tears with, I'm sorry, that's just my way
The war's all for me, boy, the battle's all I see, yes I
I'm tired of being wrong when no one knows what's right
Then I watch you fall asleep at night
And when your eyes are closed, baby, you're my lifeboat
But all this wasted time has caught me standing still
No use crying over dreams you meant to kill
And just for once, I wish, I wouldn't walk away
Well, maybe now I've found my reason. What is my reason? It's you
The clouds are back again but maybe this time I'll pretend
the sky is just some lonely friend whose smile has turned to gray
It's all up to me, boy, whatever I believe I'll find
No more giving in, I've lived too long without someone I could care about
I want you to know, baby, you're my lifeboat
So never let me go
Baby, you're... you're my lifeboat
