now you're swimming

now you're swimming

it don't even feel right

you hate your body

you know it shows

they're acting crazy

out there in the deep end

they're shouting curse words

and acting crazy

you got a cop for a dad

and you don't want any more

off-duty advice now

you got a saint in the eye

and you don't want any more

guilt-tripping advice now

we'll figure it out

and they can keep you in the dark

afternoon is your own time

alone time

we'll figure it out

and then we'll keep you in the dark

afternoon is the wrong time

and now you're painting

and you don't even feel right

you hate the colors

and you know they'll bleed

they're acting foolish

out there in the darkroom

rolling quarters

going wild

you got a cop in your face

and you don't want any more

time left alone with him

you got a saint for a mom

and you know all the ways out

the back door and on out

they'll figure it out

and then they'll keep you in the dark

afternoon is your own time

alone time

we'll figure it out

and then we'll keep you in the dark

afternoon is the wrong time
