When we started,
it sure seemed like a good day
to be out on the water.
Before I knew it,
we were miles from nowhere.
That's when I saw that look in your eye.
You know the kind where your mind is somewhere else.
The kind where you want to be by yourself.
When it came down to sink or swim,
you got lucky your ship came in.
You went anywhere the wind would blow.
Should have known it from the start.
And now your life is all caviar,
drinking champagne on the coast.
You found your higher ground,
but I'm still rowing a light boat.
You were rowing a light boat.
Well every evening,
I still look for the lighthouse,
hoping that it's going to save me.
Still believing,
and maybe someday, somehow,
I'm going to see you in the sunrise.
And that's a lie that ain't going to help me now.
Just another anchor to weigh me down.
When it came down to sink or swim,
you got lucky your ship came in.
You went anywhere the wind would blow.
Drinking champagne on the coast.
You found your higher ground.
I'm still rowing a lifeboat.
Sometimes
we don't know the reasons why things happen the way they do.
You're getting over the rainy season.
You think you're going to float,
but little do you know.
Should have known it, baby.
When it came down to sink or swim,
you got lucky your ship came in.
You went anywhere the wind would blow.
Should have known it from the start.
And now your life is all caviar,
drinking champagne on the coast.
You found your higher ground.
I'm still rowing a lifeboat.
I'm still rowing a light boat.
Still rowing a light boat.
Rowing a light boat.
There it is.
