Lifeguard

Saw you on a summer night
Swimming out into the deep end
You don't even know where you are going
I know you're not listening
Water glistening on your skin
Calling out for help, I hear the siren

I don't know why you
Swim into the dark
Let me be a
A lifeguard

Stormy weather alibi
Got me with those ocean eyes
I was saving you, forcing me into a deep dive
Pressure building, you don't care
I was dumb and unaware
That you had me

Hold me under water 
Like a rip current rip tide
I was saving you, now I'm guarding my own life
Lips they intoxicate
Touch got me swept away

I don't know why you
Swim into the dark
Let me be a
A lifeguard
I don't know why you
Swim into the dark
Let me be a
A lifeguard

Saw you on a summer night
Swimming out into the deep end
You don't even know where you are going

I don't know if it hurts
In the moment it works
I don't know if it hurts
I don't know if it hurts
In the moment it works
I don't know if it hurts

I don't know why you
Swim into the dark
Let me be a
A lifeguard
