Take that face right off yours
It’s not yours to love It’s not yours love
You keep yours in a secret cup
It’s flowing over It’s flowing over
And I gave all that I gave you
I gave all that I dared
And I took it that I’d claim you
And I took it that you’d care
But you love you more than I do
And I’d love you to be right
And the waves may crash around you
And shipwreck you at night

I’m waving not drowning there’s no one looking on
I’m waving not drowning on the horizon

Raise an arm we won the race
I’m in your slipstream I call it survival
You wrote the words for me on every wall
I thank the world for you and we’re alive-o
We made it running empty and we drove away our fears
And we drank the life-cup empty but nothing dissapears
And we swam a changing ocean
Our friends upon the shore
And we threw so many over
And watched some others fall

I’m waving not drowning there’s no one looking on
I’m waving not drowning on the horizon
