"Saving A Life" lyrics - JAMES BLUNT

I was in a lifeboat, but you wouldn't get in
I threw you a lifeline, but you wanted to swim
Oh, you wanted to swim
I was in a lifeboat, you were lost in the waves
Hard to understand why you don't wanna be saved
No, you don't wanna be saved

[Pre-Chorus:]
Don't you know there's sharks out there?
I'm not afraid to say I'm scared
No matter how hard I row, you're drifting away
You just keeping swimming

[Chorus:]
Why won't you give me a sign?
Let me throw you a rope
I'm not saving a soul, I'm just saving a life
But you just keep swimming
Why don't you wanna survive?
Are you all out of hope?
I'm not saving a soul, I'm just saving a life
But you just keep swimming

I was in a lifeboat, you were out in the deep
I wanted to help, but there's an ocean between
Oh, there's an ocean between

[Pre-Chorus:]
Don't you know there's sharks out there?
I'm not afraid to say I'm scared
No matter how hard I row, you're drifting away
You just keep swimming

[Chorus:]
Why won't you give me a sign?
Let me throw you a rope
I'm not saving a soul, I'm just saving a life
But you just keep swimming
Why don't you wanna survive?
Are you all out of hope?
I'm not saving a soul, I'm just saving a life
But you just keep swimming

[Bridge:]
I turned on the lights and sent up a flare
I searched through the night, you're no longer there
I'm saving a life, I'm saving a life
I'm saving a life, but you don't care
I turned on the lights and sent up a flare (Why won't you give me a sign?)
I searched through the night, you're no longer there (Let me throw you a rope)
I'm saving a life, I'm saving a life (I'm not saving a soul, I'm just saving a life)
I'm saving a life, but you don't care (But you just keep swimming)

[Outro:]
But you just keep swimming
