Song Lyrics and Drowning.


Back when I was in high school I used to feel as though some songs were written just for me. Not anymore.

However for a long time I've really liked one line in a song I heard many years ago, it went like this... "I'm drowning not waving".                 

I have no idea who sung the song, what it's called or what it's about but I still remember that line. I feel like that sometimes, like I'm drowning but I've been mistaken for waving.

I have experienced near drowning before, it was at Wet n Wild, Queensland in the wave pool. The sad thing is, the waves were artificial (that is, created by a wave making machine), I could have escaped myself (it's not like I can't swim, I've attended swimming lessons every summer since I was about 9 years old) but I put up my arm and started waving to the lifeguard. He didn't come to save me, I think he thought I was mocking him. I got out safely by myself by swimming under the waves but I still remember that I'm drowning feeling. 

BTW if anyone knows the song and artist please let me know.
