From the recording Starting Over
Lyrics
Treading Water
The cold rushes in and then you’re out
You didn’t know what I was about
Watching the waves wash away my frustration
I’m holding out for self-preservation
Watching the sky and the tide rushes in
I can tell you where you’ve been
I’m cold and scared and tired and bored
I’m angry and fed up and eager for more
I’m treading water
I’m treading water
I’m treading water
Watch me drown
Screaming and screaming your voice in the wind
Watching the undertow pulling you in
Deep in the water with salt on your skin
Pulling you out would be such a sin
I’m treading water
I’m treading water
I’m treading water
Watch me drown
There’s nothing on earth that I want more
The cold rushes in and then you’re out
Now you know what I’m all about
Watching the waves wash away my frustration
I’m still holding out for self-preservation
I’m treading water
I’m treading water
I’m treading water
Watch me drown
There’s nothing on earth that I want more
