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
