In the school yard 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
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
I'm learning to write 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 everyday
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
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
