Why can't I keep up,

(The tide)

with the demand?

(Is rising)

Why should I get up,

(While I)

when I just can't?

(keep crying)

Well I been swimmin' out too far for ages.

I hope there's someone at the shore to save me.

Well I been swimmin' out too far for ages.

Instead of swimmin' I keep waving.

You don't need to rescue me.

Please just teach me how to swim.
