Sink or Swim

It's a thin thin sky, can't always hold me down

And it's a long long day by the time the night rolls around

Now it's all hashed out and we've shaken on the deal

But if it all came down to yes or no I would tell them this was real

I would tell them

That it's a crowded room, you can't know everyone's name

This is a big big world and I don't think you can feel all its pain

That's why we're all spread out and we each face our chosen few

And if it all came down to fight or flight I would take it on for you

I would take it all on for you

But it never sounds true when I try to say

That I hope I find you at the end of my day

is a living thing, and each one leaves me changed

One by one they breathe into me, and is it any wonder I seem strange?

And now it's all adrift

And we're moving though we don't know how

Because it all comes down to sink or swim and I am

Swimming for it now, I am

Swimming for it now, I am

Swimming for it now
