Ellis Paul - I'm The One To Save lyrics

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 pa** 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
