about

Lifeboat is the second single from Boy From School's upcoming EP "Northern Cities Shift", out this December.

lyrics

Well I’m pulling my weight
Making my wage
though it’s less than I deserve - I promise
and no, it’s not about the dough
but I can’t eat my good feelings
helping your kid get well-adjusted

So throw, throw me a rope
the water’s cold and the current
is pulling me further downstream
the stream of success
If only I’d taken lessons,
maybe I’d be swimming with the rest.

Or in time, I’ll learn to float on
Murky water leads to an ocean, I hope
Salinity please ease my load
Because I’m heavy and prone to holes

So I’ll write/compose you a note
about all the good things in me
and why I deserve to be like you,
you and your kind
deliberate and decide
do I have what it takes to make it through?
