| Believe me when I say
|
| That there will always be cold days
|
| But the grass is only greener here if you plant it that way
|
| So you can lock yourself away
|
| Give up, forget, go back to sleep
|
| Or you can realize that there is so much more to life than yesterday
|
| I don’t need a life preserver to keep my head above the waves
|
| No matter where the current takes me
|
| 'Cause I want to find out what it means to walk an even plane
|
| Where I don’t need a pacifier to keep my wits about me
|
| I’m writing the letters on the wall
|
| To remind myself to get back up every time I fall
|
| And maybe just wading will save me
|
| And maybe the ebbing tide will suck me underneath
|
| I’ve had so much trouble keeping all these worries from my head
|
| I’ll keep swimming, I’ll keep swimming
|
| I’ll keep swimming 'til I’m dead
|
| I don’t need a life preserver to keep my head above the waves
|
| No matter where the current takes me
|
| 'Cause I want to find out what it means to walk an even plane
|
| Where I don’t need a pacifier to keep my wits about me
|
| This is the day we all begin to let our fear go and learn to swim
|
| I don’t need a life preserver
|
| I don’t need a life preserver |
