she never wanted to talk
she never wanted to argue
but that's the way it goes
when there's nobody listening
eyes straight on the frontline
knee deep in the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescue's on the way
always the keeper of secrets
always the source of confusion
but that's the way it goes
when there's nobody listening
eyes straight on the frontline
knee deep on the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescue's on the way
nobody said this was gonna be easy
but i'll tell you what i'm gonna do
can i take you to an oceanside
can i take you to an oceanside
for a few hundred years
i'm telling you you that's all i ever heard about it
can i take you to an oceanside
never a word of intention
never a hope of reunion
but that's the way it goes
when there's nobody listening
eyes straight on the high wire
knee deep in the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescue's on the way
nobody said this was going be easy
but i'll tell you what i'm gonna do
(repeat chorus)
