Maximo Park - Risk To Exist Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ever felt like you're going nowhere, and you need a little help
I felt the same way in my life, that's when your friends improve the hand you're dealt
Now if we extend the situation
To a broad one instead of the self
How can we not extend a hand into the perilous waters of hell

[Chorus]
Throw your arms around me
Before the waves all swallow me
I cannot breathe
Put your arms around me
I've come too far and the ocean's deep
Where's your empathy

[Verse 2]
Now I'm no expert but a cursory reading of the facts say you reap what you sow
And the expert colonises we begin, caused enough hurt to eat up the soul
And if we're proud of the things we have, shouldn't others want to share as well
Now the regimes that we propped up have descended into a living hell

[Chorus]
Throw your arms around me
Before the waves all swallow me
I cannot breathe
Put your arms around me
I've come too far and the ocean's deep
Show some empathy
[Bridge]
It's a risk just to exist
As we immerge in to the light
It's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive

[Breakdown]
The talk shows talk
And nothing gets done
Who wants to be responsible for Europe's biggest son
Show some responsibility
Show some responsibility

[Chorus 2]
Throw your arms around me
Before the waves all swallow me
I cannot breathe
Put your arms around me
I've come too far and the ocean's deep
Show some empathy
It's a risk just to exist
As we immerge in to the light
It's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive
Oh it's a risk just to exist
As we immerge in to the light
Oh it's a risk just to exist
I'm so glad to be alive1
