about
Lifeguard is a song for the people who use those closest to them as a lifebuoy without realising, or maybe even caring, that they're pulling the other person underwater with them.
lyrics
Simmer down
She comes to see me when you’re not around
Although she tells me that she’s not allowed
She’ll always manage to come over here somehow
You’re pitiful
I’ve never seen someone as miserable
You love the sadness you’re a prisoner of
It’s either cowardice or unconditional love
Sink or swim
You’re on the brink of the brim
She’s your lifeguard
Dragging her down hard
You can’t expect her
To keep you floating anymore
Lifeguard
Hold your own
Head above the water
She’s your lifeguard
Pulling her under
You can’t expect her
To keep you floating anymore
Lifeguard
You might think
You’re who she calls when she’s had a drink
I bet you anything she’ll come to mine
Why is it that you ignore all of the signs
Unbelievable
The lengths you’d go to to feel lovable
You like to play the happy couple
But your foundations are built from concrete rubble
Sink or swim
You’re on the brink of the brim
She’s your lifeguard
Dragging her down hard
You can’t expect her
To keep you floating anymore
Lifeguard
Hold your own
Head above the water
She’s your lifeguard
Pulling her under
You can’t expect her
To keep you floating anymore
Lifeguard
Sink or swim
You’re on the brink of the brim
She’s your lifeguard
Dragging her down hard
You can’t expect her
To keep you floating anymore
Lifeguard
