Treading Water

This lonely heart of mine grows colder every night

And this glass upon my eye falls victim to the light

Stuck in ca-alifornia, world out before ya

But somethin's missin' (somethin's missin')

You should be happy, whatever that means

But something feels different

So wherever you are

Hope you don't take too long

I need a little love in my life

I need a little love in my life

I'm breakin' my own rules (my own rules, my own rules)

You can't hurry things along

So when you need a little love in life

You'll find a little love

Been pushin' love away to save myself the hurt

Ain't much heart left to break so clearly it don't work, work, work

Stuck in ca-alifornia, world out before ya

But somethin's missin' (somethin's missin')

I should be happy, whatever that means

I need anything to make me feel

So wherever you are

Hope you don't take too long

I need a little love in my life

I need a little love in my life

I'm breakin' my own rules (my own rules, my own rules, my own rules)

You can't hurry things along

So when you need a little love in life (little love, little love)

You'll find a little love

Grew up underneath the rising love

Watched it battle through the turbulence

I just wanna feel understood

Patiently, I waited patiently

To share all of my insecurities

First, I really gotta work on me

Grew up underneath the rising love (I keep shutting down, mm)

Watched it battle through the turbulence

I just wanna feel understood

Patiently, I waited patiently (mm, mm, mm, mm, mm)

To share all of my insecurities

First, I really gotta work on me

Grew up underneath the rising love (I keep shutting down, mm)

Watched it battle through the turbulence

I just wanna feel understood

Patiently, I waited patiently (lay down with me now, mm)

To share all of my insecurities

First, I really gotta work on me

Grew up underneath the rising love (I keep shutting down, mm)

Watched it battle through the turbulence

I just wanna feel understood, mm

Patiently, I waited patiently (now)

To share all of my insecurities

First, I really gotta work on me
