Jonathan Segel - Lifeboat Lyrics

A renaissance of drunkenness
A portrait suicide
In a city full of the heat of food and sex
Aren't you happy how you lied?

Every time I turn around
I see another way I should have gone
I see the thing that makes us glad of other people
That makes being together better than being alone

He's locked out of his own head
The sun is ringing loud today
Head's full of shadows and no matter how loud it rings
The sun can't drive them all away

Like the fisherman who never mocked the sea
I came to you and you came to me
But like the fisherman who never learned to swim
I held my breath and jumped right in

On the life boat
To give the rest of your life in exchange
And live for one short minute
With the boldness you have in your dreams

A renaissance of drunkenness
A portrait suicide
In a city full of the heat of food and sex
Aren't you happy how you lied?
