Going Spaceward - Lifeboat

I thought I had a plan
I thought that my voyage would just need one man
I was wrong
I was wrong
Still, I set sail
The wind and the waves made a pact so I would fail
I'm almost gone
Almost gone
I need a lifeboat
And someone to take control
I'm letting go of all my pride
Because I won't survive this tide
All on my own
I need a lifeboat
And I don't know where to go
I'm sev'ral hundred miles from shore
This ship will hit the ocean floor
Who would have known
That I'd need a lifeboat?
I should shut my mouth
I don't know port from starboard or even north from south
I'm a fraud
Such a fraud
This ache in my skull
Two matching holes in my heart and in my hull
Oh, dear God
Oh, dear God
I need a lifeboat
And someone to take control
I'm letting go of all my pride
Because I won't survive this tide
All on my own
I need a lifeboat
And I don't know where to go
I'm sev'ral hundred miles from shore
This ship will hit the ocean floor
Who would have known
That I'd need a lifeboat?
Mayday, mayday, mayday
Mayday, mayday, mayday
Time to fire all my flares
Sometimes it feels like no one cares
Don't know how I got this far
I gotta find my guiding star
A minute turns into an hour later
I'm lost without a crew or navigator
Who would have known?
I need a lifeboat
And someone to take control
I'm letting go of all my pride
Because I won't survive this tide
All on my own
I need a lifeboat
And I don't know where to go
I'm sev'ral hundred miles from shore
This ship will hit the ocean floor
Who would have known
That I'd need a lifeboat?
I need a lifeboat
