You take your car to work, I'll take my board.
And when you're out of fuel I'm still afloat.
All along the undertow is strengthening its hold.
(You take your car to work, I'll take my board.)
I never thought it'd come to this. Now I can never go home.
(And when you're out of fuel I'm still afloat.)
