Lyrics Treading Water - Yorke

Treading Water

So overwhelmed right now, don’t have it figured out just yet
You don’t try to understand that I don’t fit your box of tricks
Got your life worked out, but I had to teach myself this shit
Gamble every move I make to stop my heart from giving in
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I don’t mind drowning for a little while
I’m on a road that you would never drive
Didn’t you know that this is real life?
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I don’t mind drowning in the meantime
Treading water but I’m still alive
You wouldn’t know what that feels like
I, I’m not chasing dotted lines
I’m waiting for the tide to rise
And carry me right through the night
I’m treading water but I’m still alive
Things used to wear me down, sink right into the abyss
I’m so glad I didn’t quit when you said I shouldn’t take the risk
Nothing is for sure, but I’m gripping onto this
Now I can admit that I’ve found my peace in my own loneliness
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I don’t drowning for a little while
Treading water but I’m still alive
You wouldn’t know what that feels like
I, I’m not chasing dotted lines
I’m waiting for the tide to rise
And carry me right through the night
I’m treading water but I’m still alive
It’s alright, it’s okay
I don’t mind what you wanna say
It’s alright, it’s okay
I don’t mind
It’s alright, it’s okay
I don’t mind what you wanna say
What you’re gonna say
I, I’m not chasing dotted lines
I’m waiting for the tide to rise
And carry me right through the night
I’m treading water but I’m still alive
Treading, treading
I’m treading water but I’m still alive
Treading, treading
I’m treading water but I’m still alive
Treading, treading
I’m treading water but I’m still alive
Treading, treading
I’m treading water but I’m still alive
Treading water
I’m treading water but I’m still alive
Treading water
I’m treading water but I’m still alive
