Treading Water

lyrics

I'm curled in the window of a coffee shop
watching the world whip by
sometimes I want to make it stop
but sometimes I want a ride
I try to figure out
how everyone gets by
me, I've just been treading water
all of my life

Everyone's got their laptops
to disappear into
I count my crosses while thinking of you
I know you're trying to figure out
how to say goodby
me, I'll just keep treading water

Can we find our way
when I don't know what you're looking for
and every mistake I make
hurts you worse than the one before
I just thought I'd know better by now

Emma makes the coffee
like she does most every day
William checks the stoop
for a half-smoked butt to blaze
and I bide my time
watching the rain
