she never wanted to talk  she never wanted to argue  but that's the way it goes  when there's nobody listening  eyes straight on the frontline  knee deep in the river flow  keep your chin up, keep your back straight  rescue's on the way  always the keeper of secrets  always the source of confusion  but that's the way it goes  when there's nobody listening  eyes straight on the frontline  knee deep on the river flow  keep your chin up, keep your back straight  rescue's on the way  nobody said this was gonna be easy  but i'll tell you what i'm gonna do  can i take you to an oceanside  can i take you to an oceanside  for a few hundred years  i'm telling you you that's all i ever heard about it  can i take you to an oceanside  never a word of intention  never a hope of reunion  but that's the way it goes  when there's nobody listening  eyes straight on the high wire  knee deep in the river flow  keep your chin up, keep your back straight  rescue's on the way  nobody said this was going be easy  but i'll tell you what i'm gonna do  (repeat chorus)
