lyrics

SHAPE I’M IN

Most people think that I’m drowning
I’m off the deep end splashing around
Maybe that’s just the way I swim
That’s the kinda shape I’m in

So you throw me a rope I think you’re trying to tie me down
Or did you feed me a line just so you could reel me in
So you could throw me back again
Would you hurry up and throw me back again

Even water jumps from a comfortable cloud
For crying out loud, for crying out loud
For just a moment of individuality
Til it hits the ground and washes out to sea.

100 times I have fallen from grace,
it has never been a graceful fall
And all the while I thought it was a swan dive
Turns out it was a cannonball

I wanna work without a net but I don’t want to hit the ground
so I’m flapping both my arms, You think I’m trying to flag you down
you know a net is a trap, it’s a body bag
when you’re trying to swim around

Even water jumps from a comfortable cloud
For crying out loud, for crying out loud
For just a moment of individuality
Til it hits the ground and washes out to sea.

Some folks are into giving ultimatums
Either you love ‘em or you hate ‘em
But I like the shades of grey
It reminds me of a rainy day
Kinda like today

Even water jumps from a comfortable cloud
For crying out loud, for crying out loud
For just a moment of individuality
Til it hits the ground and washes out to sea.
