John Waite - Head Above the Waves lyrics

rate me

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
