Getting Off
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.
I'm a little too embarrassed to admit it
But a little loud to not
I keep telling everybody that I'm giving
But what I'm really doing's getting off
Getting off this boat cause the waters keep rising
And hearts keep sinking fast.
Getting off this boat cause you can't save me
And I'm not prepared to ask.
But if I just pick my battles better baby
If I just pick me up from them
If I just pick my battles better baby
I'll stop hurting then.
I'm a little too embarrassed to admit it
But a little to proud to not
I keep telling everybody that I'm quitting
But what I'm really doing's getting off
Getting off this boat cause the waters keep rising
And I keep crashing in
Getting off this boat cause the waves keep thrashing
And I just can't seem to swim
But if I just pick my battles better baby
If I just pick me up from them
If I just pick my battles better baby
I'll stop hurting then
Keep holding on cause I'm right there
Your picture's close
The lessons hurt and you scream and shout
But you're not alone
And you really matter
Really rather
Not let go.
If I just pick my battles better baby
I'll stop hurting then.
But if I just pick my battles better baby
If I just pick me up from them
If I just pick my battles better baby
I'll stop hurting then.
If I just pick my battles better baby
Cause time keeps turning.
