Lyrics
[Verse 1] In the schoolyard when I was a kid I gave everyone my address, said 'come on over’ And it turns out that nobody did Swimming alone's how I spent my eighth birthday And sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water I never got out of the water, even though I did [Chorus] Sometimes it feels like everyone's looking at the surface And it’s not happening on purpose But they're taking things for granted again [Verse 2] I'm learning to right my wrongs And speak up when I feel like I'm not being listened to But some story entered my bones when I was far too young To know not to listen to what people say 'Cause everybody's feeling the pressure Of a world that keeps trying to end us every day [Chorus] Sometimes it feels like everyone's looking at the surface And it's not happening on purpose But they’re taking things for granted again [Outro] Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water I never got out of the water, even though I did Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water I never got out of the water, even though I did Sometimes it feels like this world’s got nothing for me Getting blank stares in return for what I give Sometimes I feel a thousand eyes looking down at the surface And they're watching me drown on purpose Oh, they’re taking things for granted again
