Saving a Life Songtext
von James Blunt

I was in a lifeboat but you wouldn′t get in
I threw you a lifeline but you wanted to swim
Ooh, you wanted to swim

I was in the light but you were lost in the ways
Hard to understand why you don't wanna be saved
No, you don′t wanna be saved

Don't you know the shark is out there
I'm not afraid to say I′m scared
No matter how hard I rode you′re drifting away
You just keep swimming

Why, wouldn't you give me a sign?
Let me tell you were wrong
I′m not saving a soul, I'm just saving a life
But you just keep swimming

Why, don′t you wanna survive?
Have you run out of hope?
I'm not saving a soul, I′m saving a life
But you just keep swimming


I was in the light but you were out in the deep
I wanted to help but there's an ocean between
Ooh, there's an ocean between

Don′t you know the shark is out there?
I′m not afraid to say I'm scared
No matter how hard I rode you′re drifting away
You just keep swimming

Why, wouldn't you give me a sign?
Let me tell you were wrong
I′m not saving a soul, I'm just saving a life
But you just keep swimming

Why, don′t you wanna survive?
Have you run out of hope?
I'm not saving a soul, I'm saving a life
But you just keep swimming

I turned on the lights and stand up prepared
I searched through the night, you′re no longer there
I′m saving a life, I'm saving a life, I′m saving a life
But you don't care


I turned on the lights and stand up prepared (Why wouldn′t you give me a sign?)
I searched through the night, you're no longer there (Let me tell you were wrong)
I′m saving a life, I'm saving a life, I'm saving a life (I′m not saving a soul, I′m just saving a life)
But you just keep swimming

But you just keep swimming
