she never wanted to argue
but that?s the way it goes
when there?s nobody listening

eyes straight on the front line
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 front line
knee deep in the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescue?s on the way

nobody said this way was going to be the 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 that?s all i ever heard about it
can i take you to an oceanside?

never a word of intention
never a hope for reunion
but that?s the way it goes
when there?s nobody listening

eyes straight on the front line
knee deep in the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescue?s on the way

nobody said this way was going to be the easy
but i?ll tell you what i?m gonna do
