Treading Water

Lyrics: Quinn Oulton/Eight9Fly Music: Quinn Oulton/Eight9Fly
When I was ๏ผ• I swore I'd never leave My parents home was the whole world to me Had everything I'd ever need Older now further south and the rent is cheap And I still got my friends and my family In this city sold on dreams and opportunity I look around and it weighs me down Feels like I've been dancing to the same old tune Got me thinking bout checking out the b side too This bed of mine is comfortable It holds my weight it knows my shape The child in me fears every change The man in me says break the chains I'm getting tired of kicking my feet This town is feeling kinda lonely I wanna find some place where my baseline lies at an all time high I'm getting tired of kicking my feet This town is feeling kinda lonely I wanna find some place where my baseline lies at an all time high I'm getting tired I'm getting tired I'm getting tired Last night I had that same dream again Running from everyone I ever met Some kind of camp or school trip I guess Found a cabin in the woods laid my head to rest Woke up head teacher grabbed me by the wrist Called my bluff said "If you leave here boy you won't be missed" I stood up tall and faced my nemesis And I said "Cool I never wanted any more than this" Place has carved me head to toe It's in my blood it's all I know The screeching sirens down below They're warning me it's time to go I'm getting tired of kicking my feet This town is feeling kinda lonely I wanna find some place where my baseline lies at an all time high I'm getting tired of kicking my feet This town is feeling kinda lonely I wanna find some place where my baseline lies at an all time high I'm getting tired I'm getting tired I'm getting tired I'm getting tired I'm getting tired
