treading water

alex clare

my heart just sank the moment i saw you

you're the image of a girl that i used to know. don't be alarmed

if it seems hard

for me to explain

but every detail of your face makes me recall the name. hmmm treading water

i keep

treading water. maybe it's another chance

to mock myself again. maybe it's another chance

i'm sure i'll fuck things up in the same way. maybe it's another chance

to mock myself again. can you forgive the things i do

that i can't amend?

not the way i yearn for her

i hope you can't pretend. girl you're a fire and you'll find

that i want to get burned. no matter what you can teach me

i'm sure i'll never learn. hmmm treading water

i keep

treading water. maybe it's another chance

to mock myself again. maybe it's another chance

i'm sure i'll fuck things up in the same way. maybe it's another chance

to mock myself again. if my concentration

seems spread too thin. and when you speak

my eyes glaze over. i'm sorry girl

it's not you

it's her. and you're another chance

to mock myself again. maybe you're another chance

i'm sure i'll fuck things up in the same way. maybe it's another chance. maybe it's another chance

to mock myself again. baby your another chance

i'm sure i'll fuck things up in the same way. maybe it's another chance

to mock myself again.
