she never wanted to talk
she never wanted to argue
but thatâ??s the way it goes
when thereâ??s nobody listening

eyes straight on the front line
knee deep in the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescueâ??s on the way

always the keeper of secrets
always the source of confusion
but thatâ??s the way it goes
when thereâ??s nobody listening

eyes straight on the front line
knee deep in the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescueâ??s on the way

nobody said this way was going to be the easy
but iâ??ll tell you what iâ??m gonna do

can i take you to an oceanside?
can i take you to an oceanside?
for a few hundred years
iâ??m telling you thatâ??s all i ever heard about it
can i take you to an oceanside?

never a word of intention
never a hope for reunion
but thatâ??s the way it goes
when thereâ??s nobody listening

eyes straight on the front line
knee deep in the river flow
keep your chin up, keep your back straight
rescueâ??s on the way

nobody said this way was going to be the easy
but iâ??ll tell you what iâ??m gonna do
(repeat chores)
