I guess love doesn't last, so let's climb up on the raft
if we never make it on our own, I don't wanna drown alone
and if waves rise up and crash, there's always a raft
let's climp up on the raft and have ourselves a laugh

who cares when we'll run ashore? we're not drowning anymore
it's not like you knew the last time, or the time before

...

I'm so glad that you're here,
hold on to me my dear
just forget the past,
'cause now we're on the raft

I love this track but there was literally nowhere I could look up the lyrics so I just had to listen and figure it out myself, the parts I couldn't make out have been left out but you're free to write your own guesses in the comments

For years it was smooth sailing, with the waters calm
Then the ship starts failing and is headed for a storm

If I could even fear it or think of what to save
I'm standing in the shadows of the rising waves

I took a cold hard pounding, blow after blow
Tragic as a shipwreck, I was going down slow


I guess love doesn't last, so let's climb up on the raft
If we never make it on our own, I don't wanna drown alone

If waves rise up and crash, there's always a raft
Let's climb up on the raft and have ourselves a laugh

Who cares when we'll run ashore? We're not drowning anymore
It's not like you knew the last time, or the time before


Somewhere below the waves, sway ropes that broke and frayed
Still tied to our anchors, right where they were laid

Now, if this stays afloat, then I'll call it a boat
I'm not desperate but I guess that I could use some hope


Well, love never lasts, but it always leaves you rafts
So let's climb up on the raft and have ourselves a laugh

If we run ashore, I'll just like you all the more
I'd rather be shipwrecked together than on the ocean floor

Love never lasts, so let's climb up on the raft
if we never make it on our own, I don't wanna drown alone

When waves come up and crash, then there's always a raft
(????????????)
(????????????)


I'm so glad that you're here
Hold on to me, my dear
Just forget the past
'Cause now we're on the raft
