There goes a man, I knew him well,
His life was great but now it's hell.
That change it happened in the blink of an eye,
Now he's always;

Running into the wind,
Swimming against the tide,
Running into the wind,
Swimming against the tide,
Trying hard just to stay alive,
Just to stay alive.

That blink it happened as he blinked back a tear,
Came when she fulfilled his unspoken fear.
He followed his life onto the floor,
Now he just doesn't care anymore,
He's still;

Running into the wind,
Swimming against the tide,
Running into the wind,
Swimming against the tide,
Trying hard just to stay alive,
Just to stay alive.

Running into the wind,
Swimming against the tide,
Running into the wind,
Swimming against the tide,
Trying hard just to stay alive,
Just to stay alive.
