Treading Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My heart just sank the moment I saw you,
You're the image of the girl that I used to know.
Don't be alarmed, if it seems hard, for me to explain,
But every detail of your face makes me recall your name!
Hmmm treading water, I keep
Treading water!
Chorus:
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again!
Maybe it's another chance,
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way!
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again!
Can you forgive the things I do that I can't amend?
Not the way I yearn for her,
I hope you can't pretend!
Girl you're a fire and you'll find,
That I want to get burnt,
No matter what you can teach me,
I'm sure I'll never learn!
Hmmm treading water, I keep
Treading water!
Chorus:
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again!
Maybe it's another chance,
I'm sure I fucked thing up in the same way!
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again!
It's my concentration,
Seem spread too thin,
And when you speak, my eyes glaze over.
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her!
Chorus:
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again!
Maybe it's another chance,
I'm sure I fucked thing up in the same way!
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again!
