"Get Up On The Raft" lyrics

For years it was smooth sailing with the waters calm
Then the ship starts failing and's headed for a storm
Before I could even fear it or think of what to say
I'm standing in the shadows of the rising waves
I take a cold heart pounding blow after blow
Tragic as a shipwreck, I was going down slow

I guess love doesn't last, let's climb up on the raft
We'll never make it on our own, I don't wanna drown alone
The waves rise up and crash, there's always a raft
Let's climb up on the raft and have ourselves a laugh
Who cares when we'll run ashore, we're not drowning anymore
It's not like you knew the last time or the time before

Somewhere below the waves, sway ropes had broke and frayed
Still tied to our anchors right where they were laid
Now if this stays afloat then I'll call it a boat
I'm not desperate but I guess that I could use some hope
Well, love never lasts but it always leaves you rough
So let's climb up on the raft and have ourselves a laugh
If we run ashore I'll just like you all the more
And when the [?] break together then on the ocean floor

Love never lasts, let's climb up on the raft
We'll never make it on our own, I don't wanna drown alone
When waves gon' up and crash and there's always a raft
And [?] and it's as good as it gets

I'm so glad that you're here
Hold on to me my dear
Just forget the past
'Cause now we're on the raft
