Waiting
I feel like I'm always just waiting
For something to stop me from fading
Into an ocean I don't belong
Stranger
That's the girl that I see
Do I change her
To the thing they want me to be
Anchored to a story I know is wrong
'Cause I don't want to be
Another fish in the sea
I'm tired of feeling like
There's something wrong with me
Now everything is different than it was before
And baby I don't want to do this anymore
I wanna just break free
Don't tell me who I'm supposed to be
I'm tired of hearing why can't she
You should be what I say
Stay in your place cause there's just one way
I wanna just let go
And get out from the undertow
I'm tired of being prissy and perfect
It's not for me
Because a fish out of water's what I want to be
Because a fish out of water's what I want to be
Out there
There's a girl on the beach with her long hair
And she's kickin' her feet
'Cause she don't care
'Cause she's where she's supposed to be
'Cause lately
I'm thinking that could be me
And just maybe
It might be crazy enough to just save me
And redefine my reality
'Cause I don't want to be
Another fish in the sea
I'm tired of feeling like
There's something wrong with me
Now everything is different than it was before
And baby I don't want to do this anymore
I wanna just break free
Don't tell me who I'm supposed to be
I'm tired of hearing why can't she
You should be what I say
Stay in your place cause there's just one way
I wanna just let go
And get out from the undertow
I'm tired of being prissy and perfect
It's not for me
Because a fish out of water's what I want to be
They say I'm loud 'cause I speak my mind
They call me a dreamer 'cause I unwind
They show me the girl I'm supposed to be
But that's not enough for me
I wanna break away
I'm tired of feeling stuck half-way
I wanna just break free
I'm not the girl I used to be
I'm tired of hearing why can't she
You should be what I say
Stay in your place cause there's just one way
I wanna just let go
And get out from the undertow
I'm tired of being prissy and perfect
It's not for me
Because a fish out of water's what I want to be
I wanna just be me
Because a fish out of water's what I want to be
I wanna just break free
Because a fish out of water's what I want to be
