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 and keep your head above the waves Try and tell yourself that you're safe I know you do your best to keep faith So round and 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 Cause 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 and tell yourself that you're safe I know you do your best to keep faith So try and 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
