When the future looks so gray, lost hopes all fade awayAnd vanish in the blueWhen my big chance slips through my hands, leaving me with washed up plansAnd broken dreams are all that I cling toIt's like you throw out your lifeline before I go underI'm out on the deep end againYou've been the heaven sent, a desperate man depends onWhen nothing else could pull him throughNow there's been times when sink or swim, I watch the picture grow and ***And every time you show right up my cubeIt's like you throw out your lifeline before I go underI'm out on the deep end againTill my number comes upIt's gonna be thumbs upMy ship's coming in round the bendIt's like you throw out your lifeline againI see the rainbow's endYour vote of confidence canBrighten up the darkest hueYou have changed my tears to laughterAnd made what seemed like short disasterJust a passing phase we all go throughIt's like you throw out your lifeline before I go underI'm out on the deep end againTill my number comes upIt's gonna be thumbs upMy ship's coming in round the bendIt's like you throw out your lifeline before I go underI'm out on the deep end again
