Shep Goodman - Thankfully lyrics

That's just like me when everything's gone wrong To latch onto something even less stable, less good I needed an anchor for my sinking ship It's just like me to attach it to my heart instead I think this was a test To see how long I could hold my breath I understand, but I gotta remind myself That even at my worst I can keep my head Alone I stand United we fall apart One union under God But not for long, thankfully That's just like me when everything else fails To go for the gold, the unattainable goals Enough's not enough when you're beat to the floor As if heartache's not heartache enough anymore I think this was a test To see how long I could hold my breath I understand, but I gotta remind myself That even at my worst I can keep my head Alone I stand United we fall apart One union under God But not for long, thankfully When we were young we never cared And now we're scared of jumping in Like we've forgotten how to swim But if we try and if we tread Then we can teach ourselves again 'Cause it's worth the chance we take When we were young we never cared But now we're scared of jumping in Like we've forgotten how to swim But I think that we should try and we should tread 'Cause if we never take another dip again We'll never know the joy that failure brings I understand, but I gotta remind myself That even at my worst I can keep my head Alone I stand United we fall apart One union under God But not for long One union under God But not for long, thankfully
