I'm The One To Save Lyrics - Ellis Paul

He's in an emotional prison 

The self-inflicted kind 

You're like a nun on a mission 

To help that boy unwind 

I said, "nobody's ever escaped alcatraz 

It's too cold in san francisco bay" 

You just turned and watched the buildings pass by 

And said, "i wouldn't have him any other way" 

I can't believe you didn't save me 

When the angels came to watch me drown 

And though the pirates behaved quite bravely 

They took the treasure when I went down 

(chorus> 

Hey, hey 

I'm drowning 

Hey, hey 

Wave by wave 

Hey, hey 

Heart pounding 

Hey, hey 

I'm the one to save 

I am the one to save 

The wind turned cold on the ferry 

We were in the shadow of the golden gate 

I said "there's a movie at the castro you might like" 

You said, "i think it's getting kind of late" 

Now six months later you'll come and tell me over coffee 

That you've turned to someone else's hand 

So you're onto another is it the martyr or the mother 

That's attracted to a straight jacket man 

I couldn't believe you didn't save me 

When the angels came to watch me drown 

And though the pirates behaved quite bravely 

They stole the treasure when I went down 

(chorus) 

And if I told you 

What would it change 

What would it change 

What would it change
