Yorke – Treading Water Lyrics

Yorke – Treading Water Lyrics

Verse 1
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 s---
Gamble every move I make to stop my heart from giving in

Pre-Chorus
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

Chorus
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

Verse 2
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
Pre-Chorus
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

Chorus
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

Bridge
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

Chorus:
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

Outro:
Treading, treading
Treading water but I’m still alive
Treading, treading
Treading water but I’m still alive
