TREADING WATER

I
I've loved you for a long time.
Of that you can be sure.
When I think of the years we've been apart,
it's more than I can endure.
While I wandered down life's alleys
you were always there with me;
shining brightly in my darkness,
although I could not see.

II
Now I wonder what it means:
you back in my life again.
Is there a purpose, or a goal?
Will I be left dangling without end?

With you I'm treading water.
Don't know if I'll sink or swim.
Don't know from one day to the next,
if it's me you love or him.

FIRST CHORUS:
Someone throw me out a lifeline!
You know I'm sinking fast.
Don't know how long I can stay afloat;
how much longer I can last.
I hear the Sirens wailing!
God please tie me to the mast!
Will I navigate this passageway,
or against the rocks be cast?

SECOND CHORUS:
Someone throw me out a lifeline!
You know I'm sinking fast.
Don't know how long I can stay afloat;
how much longer I can last.
I hear the Sirens wailing!
Please tie me to the mast!
Will I navigate this passageway,
or against the rocks be cast?

III
Don't know quite how to decipher
all those signals that you send;
but it'll be a death-sentence,
if you say we're “only friends.”

With you I'm treading water.
Don't know if I'll sink or swim.
Don't know from one day to the next,
if it's me you love or him.

Don't know from one day to the next,
if it's me you love,
---me you love or him.
