[Verse] got this painting in my room... of an old man on a boat, the waves crashing around him it puts a lump in my throat... yeah, I might be young but I know that boat... because baby I'm on it, and the waves keep leaving me broke... [beat drop] [banjo instrumental] [chorus] when will it end!!? here it comes again! the storms always raging... here's another rogue wave... and, I fear that I might finally capsize and if I do will I make it... I'm so afraid, I'm offering my hand, somebody take it!! [slow banjo picking, accompanied with sad humming and vocalizing] [Verse] got this recurring dream... that I'm lost at sea, as a ship sails by... with that old man... looking at me, I scream! I panic! swimming desperately! for him to stop and save me... but he just sails away... then I hear your voice, and it's soft and sweet... but it's saying goodbye, you're leaving, then comes the thunder... storm is starting again... (Oh God!!!) [instrumental] [chorus] (When Will It!!....) when will it end! here it comes again!! the storm is always raging! here's another rogue wave... and I fear that... I might finally capsize... and if I do will I make it... I'm so afraid, I'm offering my hand... somebody take it!! (Somebody Please Take It!!!!!!!) [slow banjo picking, accompanied with sad humming and vocalizing] [Verse] another rough night, fighting the urge to quit... trying to quit... mind so clear... I can see the bottom, and it's sick and rotten!! I've tried so hard... I don't want it to be... (more terrible dreams) wake up in a cold sweat... looking at that painting! the old man... mocking me.... [banjo instrumental] [outro] when will it end... here it comes again... the storm is always raging... here's another rogue wave... and I fear that... I might finally capsize, and if I do will I make it... I'm so afraid... I'm offering my hand... somebody take it!!! ohhh ohhhhh ohhh ooooooo oooo Somebody Please Take It!!! ohhhh ohhhhhh ohhh ooooo Please Take It!! oooooo oooo oooooooo [slow banjo solo, accompanied with sad humming and vocalizing, leading to a fade out] [end]
