I'm a million miles from anywhere, where can I be Somewhere out on the ocean Just take a look out on the horizon, what can you see There's nothing there for me I feel shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea I can't believe what you said to me Even standing on the corner of a busy city street I still feel so lonely Why do you say you want to be with me But the next day say you don't I'm shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea I can't believe what you said to me Without you I feel shipwrecked But I can't let it show A million miles away from anywhere, ooh, ooh, ohh Is it my imagination Or is it getting darker, are the waves getting higher I'm a million miles from anywhere A million miles from anything I know You know that's why I'm shipwrecked I might as well be shipwrecked I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea I can't believe what you said to me You know that's why I'm shipwrecked, shipwrecked Losing my direction Please come and rescue me (shipwrecked) Shipwrecked Shipwrecked Shipwrecked Shipwrecked...
