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
