lyrics

I'm not pretty like those angels
On the runway on the ground
I'm just trying to keep you happy
Doing my best to try and keep you around

Weird how we once walked as strangers
Who had no rhythm had no bond
A year of love but who could blame us
Took this long to get your heart in a song

Looks like I need a hand just to stop and consider
Looks like I need a man to help me cross the river
Hmm

Think about when we were children
I'm lonely now but not like then
Now all I've got is worn paraphernalia
Like all those icebergs down in California
Ah

Looks like I need a hand just to stop and consider
Looks like I need a man to help me cross the river
Looks like I need a hand just to stop and consider
Looks like I need a man to help me cross the river

Oh please just take one for the team
Please can you take it

I can swim without him
I can swim without him
I can swim without him
I can
I could write you something
I could write you something
I could write you something
I could
I can swim without Him
I can swim without him
I can swim without him
I could I could
