Waite John - Head Above The Waves Lyrics

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 'n keep your head above the waves, try 'n tell yourself that you're safe
I know you do your best to keep faith
So round 'n 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

'Cos 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 'n tell yourself that you're safe
I know you do your best to keep faith
So try 'n 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
