In the SchoolyardWhen I was a kidI gave everyone my addressSaid come on overAnd itTurns out that nobody didSwimming alone's how I spentMy eighth birthdaySometimes it feels likeI never got out of the waterI never got out of the waterEven though I didI never got out of the waterSometimes it feels likeEveryone's looking at the surfaceAnd it's not happening on purposeBut they're taking things for granted againI'm learning to right my wrongsAnd speak up when I feel likeI'm not being listened toSome story entered my bonesWhen I was far too young to knowNot to listen toWhat people sayCause everybody's feeling the pressureWhile they keep trying to end us every daySometimes it feels likeEveryone's looking at the surfaceAnd it's not happening on purposeBut they're taking things for granted againSometimes it feels likeI never got out of the waterI never got out of the waterEven though I didSometimes it feels likeI never got out of the waterI never got out of the waterI never got out of the waterEven though I didSometimes it feels likeThis world's got nothing for meGetting blank stares in return for what I giveSometimes I feel a thousand eyesLooking down at the surfaceAnd they're watching me drown on purposeSo they're taking things for granted again
