lyrics
You swim
But can you ever win
Halfway there
Nobody cares
You’re drowning
You struggle
To survive
You’ve got only
One single life
You’re drowning
How to stay afloat
How to stay afloat
You started
Way from behind
Nobody seems
To really mind
How to stay afloat
How to stay afloat
They just put their sunglasses on
Pretending not to see
They are high and dry
Living carefree
How to stay afloat
How to stay afloat
But can you ever win
Halfway there
Nobody cares
You’re drowning
You struggle
To survive
You’ve got only
One single life
You’re drowning
How to stay afloat
How to stay afloat
You started
Way from behind
Nobody seems
To really mind
How to stay afloat
How to stay afloat
They just put their sunglasses on
Pretending not to see
They are high and dry
Living carefree
How to stay afloat
How to stay afloat
