The Arrows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, nothing ever happened inside the boat
And now I'll never be the same
And You are, oh, You are the one to blame
You and your kind hearted ways
How could I turn away from that face?
So, now I'm stuck playing Your games
And oh, well I can't look down
Oh, or I might drown, I might drown
While I'm waking on this water all the time
Yet I keep hoping that
I won't go sinking down under the tide
So, I keep praying that I
Can keep my eyes on You and I
I'll always have You on my mind
You're on my mind
You're on my mind
Oh the ground will never be
Half as fun as what it used to be
I have tasted, I have seen
I've become the dreamer of Your dreams
And oh, well, I can't look down
Oh, or I might drown, I might drown
While I'm waking on this water all the time
Yet I keep hoping that
I won't go sinking down under the tide
So I keep praying that I
Can keep my eyes on You and I
I'll always have You on my mind
You're on my mind
You're on my mind
