I thought I had a plan I thought that my voyage would just need one man I was wrong I was wrong Still, I set sail The wind and the waves made a pact so I would fail I'm almost gone Almost gone I need a lifeboat And someone to take control I'm letting go of all my pride Because I won't survive this tide All on my own I need a lifeboat And I don't know where to go I'm sev'ral hundred miles from shore This ship will hit the ocean floor Who would have known That I'd need a lifeboat? I should shut my mouth I don't know port from starboard or even north from south I'm a fraud Such a fraud This ache in my skull Two matching holes in my heart and in my hull Oh, dear God Oh, dear God I need a lifeboat And someone to take control I'm letting go of all my pride Because I won't survive this tide All on my own I need a lifeboat And I don't know where to go I'm sev'ral hundred miles from shore This ship will hit the ocean floor Who would have known That I'd need a lifeboat? Mayday, mayday, mayday Mayday, mayday, mayday Time to fire all my flares Sometimes it feels like no one cares Don't know how I got this far I gotta find my guiding star A minute turns into an hour later I'm lost without a crew or navigator Who would have known? I need a lifeboat And someone to take control I'm letting go of all my pride Because I won't survive this tide All on my own I need a lifeboat And I don't know where to go I'm sev'ral hundred miles from shore This ship will hit the ocean floor Who would have known That I'd need a lifeboat? I need a lifeboat
