You thought that, that we could last forever
As time passes down a road I never drove
The fun faded, dissolved in your depressed sea
And now you're laughing behind the walls you're facing

Ahh, you and I had everything; life was lived just like a dream
We needed help but you became helpless
Time will never wait for you or wait for me or anything
I'm drowning in your misery that's tearless, ahhh

Chorus 1:
Ooooh, rescue me
If I'm falling under, would you let me be, ahhh
Ooooh, rescue me
Is it a crime to love me, don't label me

I thought that life's tight little knot was secure
Now it's alarming to you when these knots aren't secure at all, ahhh

Chorus 2:
Ooooh, rescue me
If I'm falling under, would you let me be, ahhh
Ooooh, rescue me
Is it a crime to love me, don't label me
Rescue me

My distress, my anxieties and all my fears
Our pleadings, yeah, together are irresistible

Ahh, you and I had everything; life was lived just like a dream
We needed help but you became helpless
Time will never wait for you or wait for me or anything
I'm drowning in your misery that's tearless, ahhh

Chorus 3:
Ooooh, rescue me
If I'm falling under, would you let me be, ahhh
Ooooh, rescue me
Is it a crime to love me, don't label me, ahhh
Ooooh, rescue me
Ahhh, yeah
Ooooh, rescue me
Ahhh, yeah
Nah nah nah... rescue me
