I can see the lifeguard on the shore
and he sees me
My waving arms he just ignores
but I know he sees
I'm going under for the last time
I'm sinking down - Can't they see?
I can't breathe!

[Chorus]
Oh God, help me! Take my hand!
(Help me... Take my hand)
Please save this drowning man!
(Save me... I'm a drowning man)
(Please save me!)
(Oh God...)
(repeat)

I didn't feel like I had gone so far
I never thought that it could be
so hard out here
I'm going under for the last time
I'm sinking down - Can't they see?
I can't breathe!

[repeat chorus]

I never thought that it could be
so hard out here
I'm going under for the last time
I'm sinking down - Can't they see?

[repeat chorus]
