[Verse 1]
Saw you on a summer night
Swimming out into the deep end
You don’t even know where you are going, yeah
I know you’re not listening
Water glistening on your skin
Calling out for help, I hear the siren

[Chorus]
I don’t know why you
Swim into the dark
Let me be a
Lifeguard

[Verse 2]
Stormy weather alibi
Got me with those ocean eyes
I was saving you, forcing me into a deep dive
Pressure building, you don’t care
I was dumb and unaware
That you had me

Hold me underwater
Like a rip current, rip tide
I was saving you, now I’m guarding my own life
Lips, they intoxicate
Touch got me swept away
[Chorus]
I don’t know why you
Swim into the dark
Let me be a
Lifeguard
I don’t know why you
Swim into the dark
Let me be a
Lifeguard

[Verse 3]
Saw you on a summer night
Swimming out into the deep end
You don’t even know where you are going, yeah
I don’t know if it hurts
In the moment it works
I don’t know if it hurts

[Chorus]
I don’t know why you
Swim into the dark
Let me be a
Lifeguard
