Such a shame, what became of your broken heart
To this day it remains hanging in the dark
I'm afraid and ashamed of the things she said
Never been so alive never felt more dead
And these days, all this pain, but the water's red (?)
I entertain these insane visions in my head
I fell in love just above all the paper trails (?)
While the boat swims in circles and I sink in sales (?)
S.O.S. please rescue me
You're out of breath, I'm out of steam
I hold you safely in my heart (?)
Our love has torn this ship apart
Please rescue me
x8
It's a crime, all this time we've been lost for words
Lost at sea, we believed everything we heard
For last night, I was riding the ocean blue
Now I swim with the fishes and sink with you
And these days, all this pain, but the water's red (?)
I entertain these insane visions in my head
I fell in love just above all the paper trails (?)
While the boat swims in circles and I sink in sales (?)
S.O.S. please rescue me
You're out of breath, I'm out of steam
I hold you safely in my heart (?)
Our love has torn this ship apart
S.O.S come rescue me
Losing all but surviving (?)
I need a hand to save my soul (?)
To pull me from this all time hole (?)
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me

Final chorus:
These aren't the right lyrics, but I really can't make out what he's
singing, the chords are right though. If you have any idea what they are just
say in a comment, though probably we'll find out the exact lyrics when the
album is released.
S.O.S. please rescue me
You're out of breath, I'm out of steam
I hold you safely in my heart
Our love has torn this ship apart
Please rescue me
