You quit the band and got a job, decided to take a wife

Then you stood still, and I went on and almost lost my life



No I don't wanna be in your shoes, and I don't wanna read local news

And though I know we had the same views, who's the fool?



Try 'n keep your head above the waves, try 'n tell yourself that you're safe

I know you do your best to keep faith

So round 'n round we go, it's a shame, oh, but you never know



There you go, praised again, your head pressed against the glass

You always tried to put me down, but I knew that it couldn't last



'Cos I don't wanna be in your shoes, and I don't wanna read local news

And though I know we had the same views, who's the fool?



Try 'n keep your head above the waves, try 'n tell yourself that you're safe

I know you do your best to keep faith

So try 'n keep your head above the waves



Oh, feels so good, yeah yeah yeah yeah, I knew it would

Oh, it just don't mean that much anymore, oh
