lyrics

This is an emergency
Can’t you see
Maybe like no other

Swimming of the coast in the warm winter sea
A wave spoke to me
She said, “son take this problem more seriously!
You’ve been neglecting me.”

She said,
“You ain’t listening to us
You ain’t listening to me
Take this problem seriously.”

We gotta move away
We gotta move away from here.

Rip me out of my depth
Pull me into the deep
My heart skips a beat
Here I’ll die five thousand miles from home
Cold high and all alone

She said, “I’ll release my grip on you
Stop wasting time there’s work to do.”
She said, “You ain’t listening to us
You ain’t listening to me
Take this problem more seriously!”
