Im The One to Save — текст песни (Ellis Paul)

Hes in an emotional prison

The self-inflicted kind

Youre like a nun on a mission

To help that boy unwind

I said, "nobodys ever escaped alcatraz

Its too cold in san francisco bay"

You just turned and watched the buildings pass by

And said, "i wouldnt have him any other way"



I cant believe you didnt save me

When the angels came to watch me drown

And though the pirates behaved quite bravely

They took the treasure when I went down





(chorus>

Hey, hey

Im drowning

Hey, hey

Wave by wave

Hey, hey

Heart pounding

Hey, hey

Im the one to save

I am the one to save





The wind turned cold on the ferry

We were in the shadow of the golden gate

I said "theres a movie at the castro you might like"

You said, "i think its getting kind of late"

Now six months later youll come and tell me over coffee

That youve turned to someone elses hand

So youre onto another is it the martyr or the mother

Thats attracted to a straight jacket man





I couldnt believe you didnt save me

When the angels came to watch me drown

And though the pirates behaved quite bravely

They stole the treasure when I went down





(chorus)

And if I told you

What would it change

What would it change

What would it change
