lifeboat - Ollie

I’m bad at taking advice

And sometimes admitting I’m wrong

Stubborn is saying it nice

I ain’t so tough, I get sad when you gone

I like it better with you in arms

Sing in the shower, your songs

Wonder if you hear me singing along

Might not be home but this where I belong

And I know you hate when it’s colder outside

I’m always working, I’m tryna provide

I just want you to be happy in life, well—ironic it’s passing me by

Maybe if I would just lift up my head

I would see you right in front my eyes, but

I cannot lift up my head

I had to jump before I learned to fly, and lost all our innocence

Still I can’t look past you

Lay down our differences, it’s something we had too

You know I’d be lost if you went away

Though my love never stops, what I’m tryna say, tryna say that

Lifeboat, you’re my lifeboat

I hope, really I hope that

You’re never gon' replace me

'Cause I need you to stay afloat

Lifeboat, you’re my lifeboat

I hope, really I hope that

You’re never gon' replace me

'Cause I need you to stay afloat

'Cause I need you to stay afloat

It’s like, I’m struggling staying afloat

You know how crazy I go?

Been trying my best through the bad times

Thought I should write you this note

Tell you, my love, I would never let go

Without you, I’m losing my hope

I was so stuck, I was out deep end when you suddenly threw me a rope

You picked me up and put me in the stars

I’m tryna give you back all of my heart

I just want you to know I’m right here

Same place I’ve been from the start

This ain’t just writin' or playin' a part

This is me saying, «I hope»

Even when everything hard, you always helping me cope

'Cause love far from bulletproof, it’s not worth us fightin'

You always pullin' through when I gave up tryin'

I can’t even hold this back, I need you bad, like

Some days I go overboard, but you know that, yeah you know that

Lifeboat, you’re my lifeboat

I hope, really I hope that

You’re never gon' replace me

'Cause I need you to stay afloat

Lifeboat, you’re my lifeboat

I hope, really I hope that

You’re never gon' replace me

'Cause I need you to stay afloat

'Cause I need you to stay afloat
