THE HUMAN SEA      
(words and music by Rick Springfield)          



Waking up in the night
The fear comes down
Oh!
And here I go again with the insecurities
Doubts are running themselves all over me

Help! Help is on the way
She don't have to say anything
She reaches out her hand
I know she understands 
All of me
Nobody loves me like she

Just another face in The Human Sea
But she gives me a reason to believe her
I myself an island in The Human Sea
And I know I'm never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river before

Standing on the beach
of The Human Sea
I feel so absolutely insignificant
One more dreamer in a city of heartbreak

Help! Help is on the way
She don't have to say anything
She reaches out her hand
I know she understands  all of me
Nobody loves her like me

Just another face in The Human Sea
But she gives me a reason to believe her
I myself an island in The Human Sea
And I know I'm never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river before

I don't want to seem too dependent
But I guess it already shows
By the short hairs I will follow
Everywhere that she goes

Just another face


Help! Help is on the way 
She don't have to say anything
I know she understands
She reaches out her hand to me
Nobody lover her like me

Just another life in a Human Sea
I'm just the next one looking for an answer
Take your partners hand for the human dance
Won't you lead
You know I'm not a dancer
Just another face to The Human Sea
but she gives me a reason to believe her
I find myself an island in The Human Sea
And I know I'm never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river
I was running like a river 
Running like a river before
Just another face in The Human Sea
but she gives me a reason to believe her
Find myself an island in The Human Sea
And I know I'm never gonna leave
I was running like a river
Running like a river before
