lyrics

Smile and wave
How’s the weather
One more champagne
To sleep at night

Shake hands
Come together
Make your big plans
To stay alive

Hold your lifevest
Hold your lifevest
Tight to your chest
We’re going down
Familiar ground

Hold your lifevest
Hold your lifevest
Tight to your chest
Just hope and pray
You’ll be okay

It’s something you say

Read the lines
Like you mean it
Make your voice shake
With empathy

Make believe
That you feel it
While you dream up
New enemies

Hold your lifevest
Hold your lifevest
Tight to your chest
We’re going down
Familiar ground

Hold your lifevest
Hold your lifevest
Tight to your chest
Just hope and pray
You’ll be okay

It’s something you say
