[Verse 1: Chip]

Away we go

Hit the waterside

I hope you jump aboard a nice boat

To take you out for a ride

I’m riding on the tide

Till I sink

Other people are relaxing

I myself can’t sleep a wink

I wish I had a nice boat

Thought a lot about a yacht

But a sturdy ship

Just ain’t the one I got

[Chorus: Chip]

I’m drifting on a lifeboat

Bobbin’ on the blues

Enough to stay afloat

And ponder if I’ll make it through

I’m drifting on a lifeboat

Flounder on the waves

Ebbing with the flow

Who knows if I’ll be found and saved

[Verse 2: Chip]

They said the water’s fine

Won’t you come on in?

Don’t dip a toe

That’s no way to know if you can swim

And just like that, I’m over the deck

And I’m up to my neck

Shrinking like a speck

Now I’m shipwrecked

Just drifting on a lifeboat

Just drifting on a lifeboat

Just drifting on a lifeboat

[Chorus: Chip]

I’m drifting on a lifeboat

Bobbin’ on the blues

Enough to stay afloat

And ponder if I’ll make it through

I’m yelling out

I’ll try to swim

But I never learned how

And now I’m diving in

[Bridge: Chip]

So, for my own sake

I need to take a break

While I wallow in the wake

For my own sake

I need to take a break

While I wallow in the wake

For my own sake

I need to take a break

While I wallow in the wake

Still I’m glad I got a lifeboat

For this ache

[Chorus: Chip]

Spendin’ my life on a lifeboat

Drifting offshore

If I had only asked for help

They might have sent an oar

If I just float away

The currents will circle back

Again some day

What’s a life on a lifeboat?

Adrift at sea

Just to see the beach again

No one cares more than me

I can make it through
