Looking backwards
All my patterns
I can trace
Like the stars in space
But in the moment
I keep hoping
Something's gonna change
But I don't ever change
Been waiting on a different life
But it's not enough to just survive
I'm tired of barely getting by
Treading water
I've been far away
Trying harder
I've been trying to stay
Above the waves
Before they crash
I hear you calling and
I'm trying to get back
Treading water
I've been
Searching all night
But you're nowhere in sight
It's too dark and I can't see
Won't you shine a little light for me
Shine a little light for me
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Am I getting closer
Or drifting further
It's a mystery
Or so it seems to be
Is this what everyone feels like
When they start thinking about life?
Or is it just me?
It can't be
The question years sure take their time
Still waiting on an answer I
Can anchor to instead of getting by
Treading water
I've been far away
Trying harder
I've been trying to stay
Above the waves
Before they crash
I hear you calling and
I'm trying to get back
Treading water
I've been
Searching all night
But you're nowhere in sight
It's too dark and I can't see
Won't you shine a little light for me
Shine a little light for me
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
