Letra de ' Not Drowning But Waving ' de Spring Offensive

You saw the clothes and instinctively called for me
You said it was too far too cold to swim and he was too far out at sea
But I had the hand of a clock beating me
There was no time to deflate my evening with heroics like these
I'm not sure what came over me my friend
I know I said, “He's not drowning, he's waving”, but you would not relent
I know my hands are shaking but it's not cowardice
Again that stopped me from jumping in
We're stood with water only up to our shins

There is a storm blowing in
Do I have to shoulder this one?
If you wade in then I'll wade in
Will I be blamed for this one?
A freezing mist comes rolling in
I will be blamed for this one

I saw him first beaten and broken by waves
Straight away I knew you'd try and convince me that he could be saved
So much to prove you looked a state
It's not my fault that you listened to me when I said it's already too late
There is a storm blowing in
Do I have to shoulder this one?
If you wade in then I'll wade in
Will I be blamed for this one?
A freezing mist comes rolling in
I will be blamed for this one

Afraid you'll turn on me and I'll go down for this
We're both to blame, you know it well
We'll have to shoulder this one and I won't tell if you don't tell
We'll have to live with this one, a freezing mist comes rolling in
I will be blamed for this one

I will be blamed for this one
I will be blamed for this one
I will be blamed for this one
I will be blamed for this one

I will be blamed for this
I will be blamed for this
I will be blamed for this
I will be blamed for this
