Lifeguard

{chorus} 
Water rising from the sound 
New horizons need to be found 
Gotta get a view from hiiiigh-er ground 
we need to warn the town
'cause it's so easy toooo get down 
We tip a bottle back like we could drown 
Gotta get our feet back on the ground 
Please don't let me drown
(Verse 1)
It's so easy come follow me
I got these pills, you can swallow three 
One for th pain and the stress of you job 
One for all the madness that your girlfriend cause 
The last one 'cause we've been living broke 
After that I got a blunt we can smoke 
Wash it down with the rising tide 
'cause there's no where to run to 
No where to hide.
I've got time so I start to think 
If there's a man overboard getting lost in the drink 
Would I ... Reach out when he's at the brink 
or would I stand back and watch him sink? 
 {chorus} 
Water rising from the sound 
New horizons need to be found 
Gotta get a view from hiiiigh-er ground 
we need to warn the town
'cause it's so easy toooo get down 
We tip a bottle back like we could drown 
Gotta get our feet back on the ground 
Please don't let me drown
(Verse 2)
It's so easy to jump right in 
Sometimes it ends right where it begins 
Empty pockets pay for my sins 
I need a lifeguard when I go for a swim 
I take my time and look out below 
'cause it's easy to get caught up in the undertow 
Say what you say and know what you know 
But the truth hits hard and it won't hit slow 
{Chorus 2}
It's so easy tooo get down
Water rising up from the sound 
Gotta get a view from higher ground
We need to warn the town 
It's so easy to get down 
New horizons need to be found 
Gotta get our feet back on the ground 
Please don't let me drown 
(Refrain) 
Its so easy to get down
Could you sit back and watch a man drown? 
Don't become a victim of the slaughter 
You got to keep your head above water 
 {chorus} 
Water rising from the sound 
New horizons need to be found 
Gotta get a view from hiiiigh-er ground 
we need to warn the town
'cause it's so easy toooo get down 
We tip a bottle back like we could drown 
Gotta get our feet back on the ground 
Please don't let me drown
