Fell From the Tree - I Tread Water lyrics

I thought i’d be the exception and i’d make it out Jump onto the last lifeboat and swore that i tripped And no one asks what i’m always on about My words are terse and my speech is clipped I was waiting i was waiting for an empty room Made a promise to myself that i’d see it through I’ve tread water and it feels like standing still Tread water gasping breath to talk about my day Tread water haven’t thought about tomorrow I’ve tried but i know it’s not enough I tread water doesn’t matter if i have the will I tread water but if someone asks then i’m okay I tread water even if nobody’s coming Treading water would never be enough I thought i needed more time to sort it out I guess i prayed too hard for the world to stop Form a chrysalis as i’m laying on the couch Emerge out of focus against the backdrop I was waiting i was waiting for the end, it came Made a promise to myself i wouldn’t stay... the same I’ve Tread water and it feels like standing still Tread water and you want to ask about my day Tread water haven’t thought about tomorrow I’ve tried but i know it’s not enough I tread water doesn’t matter if i have the will I tread water but if someone asks then i’m okay I tread water even if nobody’s coming Treading water wouldn’t be enough I like to think i’m not in that deep Then the sun comes up and i still don’t sleep And it’s enough And i tread water and it feels like standing still Tread water gasping breath to make it through the day Tread water haven’t thought about tomorrow I’ve tried but i won't be enough I tread water doesn’t matter if i have the will I tread water but if someone asks then i’m okay I tread water even if nobody’s coming Treading water would never be enough
