Waving Or Drowning? :
I'm incredible.
I'm unbelievable.
I mean, like I'm a liar.
Not like I'm beautiful
With all the mystery and all the wondering.
I'm like a private eye in my own little government.
So am I settling down or am I going under?
Am I waving or drowning?
I'm beginning to wonder.
Maybe I'll never be sure that I'll ever be good,
But I should.
Yeah, I should.
I can set it up.
I can make it true.
If I can find a way then that's what I'm going to do.
So I can keep being right
And I can keep getting left
And I can keep on talking after everybodys gone
To the ghost and the past and the missing and the dead
About how I'll never be sure if I'll ever be good.
But I should.
Yeah, I should.
So am I settling down or am I going under?
Am I waving or drowning?
I'm beginning to wonder.
Maybe I'll never have done everything I could.
Maybe I'll never admit that I did what I would.
Maybe I'll never be sure that I'll ever be good,
But I should.
Yeah, I should.
Yeah, I should.
I should.
Yeah, I should.
