Pardon me, my mistake
|
Thought it my turn for a break
|
But since the rain loves my face
|
I’ll just let it be.
|
|
Long since gave up on long walks
|
To avoid the long talks
|
Lately the silence won’t stop
|
Talking at me
|
|
CHORUS
|
And I’m getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change
|
I’ve forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same
|
I tread water
|
I tread water
|
|
Even tried my fair share
|
Thought the devil may care
|
But I called him up, he’s not there.
|
What does that mean?
|
|
CHORUS
|
And I’m getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change
|
I’ve forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same
|
I tread water
|
I tread water
|
|
Thought this life would lead
|
Far from Beauty’s Beast
|
Well, I know at least
|
You can’t count me out
|
Because I’m used to the water now.
|
|
CHORUS
|
And I’m getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change
|
I’ve forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same
|
Never let this pair of hands forget to pull their weight
|
This burden may be more than I would like to bear but still it’s less than I can take
|
I tread water
|
I tread water
|
