I'm gonna build a raft,
and set it on the water there,
hoping she will come,
see the thing I made, what a thing I made.

Today I'm gonna sail,
even if she doesn't show,
the ocean can decide,

Love is like a wave, love will never fail,

Hope she gets here soon,
I hope she isn't far away,
but if she is, I'll sail anyway.

Everyday that I love her, I kill myself,
it happens over and over, there's no one else.
and I try to forget her, but look at me,

Giving everything away for free.

And when I'm out at sea,
I'm gonna write a song for her,
I'll sing across the bay,
hoping she will hear,
hoping she will hear.

And when she's in her car,
and just above the motor there,
she'll hear my serenade,
beaconing her near,
beaconing her near.

And then she's gonna swim,
I didn't build my raft in vain,
but if I did, we'd both drown anyway,

Cause everyday that I love her,
I kill myself,
it happens over and over,
there's no one else.

And I try to forget her, but look at me,
giving everything away for free.

Giving everything away for free, free, drown me.
it'll stop the pain, here's my love in vain.

Cause I knew, knew she'd never come,
cause she couldn't bare the ocean,
she couldn't stand the waves,

Everyday that I love her,
I kill myself,
it happens over and over, there's no one else,

and I try to forget her,
but look at me,
giving everything away for free.
