I always try to keep myself from drifting
Keep my head from sinking and level out the pain
They always said that I would never make it
That I would always hate it till I caught my final wave
Somethings gonna give somethings gonna break
Take another road find another way
All my days I’ve
Figured out slow
That nobody knows
I’m on my way out
Should have told you
I’m treading water
In the dark I never knew I
Shut you out again
Oh my days I’ve
Figured out slow
That nobody knows
I’m treading water
I always knew the kind of life I wanted
A kind of life so honest I never tip the scale
“It’s up to you” they told me “make you own space
The world is just a rat race, no-one cares unless you fail”
Somethings gonna give somethings gonna break
Take another road find another way
All my days I’ve
Figured out slow
That nobody knows
I’m on my way out
Should have told you
I’m treading water
In the dark I never knew I
Shut you out again
Oh my days I’ve
Figured out slow
That nobody knows
I’m treading water
