I think it’s time I learned to swim
Show me there still can be some mystery
I haven’t found
Throw me a lifeline to the lost at sea
Don’t let me drown
And if I had my way I tell you what I’d do
I’d drive down to the lake before the sky gets blue
Fill up my bottle from water from the spring
‘Cause I read somewhere that it cures everything
REFRÃO
Show me there still can be some mystery
I haven’t found
Throw me a lifeline to the lost at sea
Don’t let me drown
REFRÃO
Show me there still can be some mystery…..
Show me a way out of this misery…..
