When the future looks so gray, lost hopes all fade away
And vanish in the blue
When my big chance slips through my hands, leaving me with washed up plans
And broken dreams are all that I cling to
It's like you throw out your lifeline before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again
You've been the heaven sent, a desperate man depends on
When nothing else could pull him through
Now there's been times when sink or swim, I watch the picture grow and ***
And every time you show right up my cube
It's like you throw out your lifeline before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again
Till my number comes up
It's gonna be thumbs up
My ship's coming in round the bend
It's like you throw out your lifeline again
I see the rainbow's end
Your vote of confidence can
Brighten up the darkest hue
You have changed my tears to laughter
And made what seemed like short disaster
Just a passing phase we all go through
It's like you throw out your lifeline before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again
Till my number comes up
It's gonna be thumbs up
My ship's coming in round the bend
It's like you throw out your lifeline before I go under
I'm out on the deep end again
