You quit the band and got a job
Decided to take a wife
Then you stood still
And I went on 

And almost lost my life 
No I don't want to be in your shoes
And I don't want to read local news
And though I know we had the same views

Who's the fool? 
Try and keep your head above the waves
Try and tell yourself that you're safe
I know you do your best to keep faith 

So round and round we go
It's a shame 
Oh but you never know 
There you go praised again

Your head pressed against the glass
You always tried to put me down
But I knew that it couldn't last 
Cause I don't want to be in your shoes

And I don't want to read local news
And though I know we had the same views
Who's the fool 
Try 'n keep your head above the waves

Try and tell yourself that you're safe
I know you do your best to keep faith
So try and keep your head above the waves 
Oh, feels so good

Yeah yeah yeah yeah 
I knew it would
Oh it just don't mean that much anymore oh
