Lyrics
Plastic Soldiers
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.
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same
Within us, all together
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same
And we are all together
I can't keep my head up
I'd like to stay by my friends
Stay by my friends
But I can't keep my head up
I can't seem to keep my head
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
But you're still in
Treading water
I'd hate to seem so shallow
I'd like to get deeper in
Swim deeper in
But I can't find the water
I can't seem to find my way
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
But you're still in
I can't keep my head above ground
(I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep my head above ground
(I can't keep my head above ground, can't keep my head)
I can't keep
But you're still in
Treading water
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in
Treading water
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
