Too scared to rise above it
Too cynical to sink
And it wouldn't take a strong wind
To knock me in my drink
I was swimming in the ocean
I was flushed upon this town
You kissed me when I'm standing
But you kick me when I'm down

And the codgers in the cakehouse
Are a gumming school of fish
Should I leave it on your voicemail
Did it have to come to this?
I was floating on the water
I accepted that I drowned
And I know the whales could hear me
Though I didn't make a sound

I was floating on the water
I accepted that I drowned
And I know the whales could hear me
But I didn't make a sound
You can't ignore a rain cloud
You can't deny your dream
You may not even love me
When you go through your extremes

Too scared to rise above it
Too cynical to sink
And it wouldn't take a strong wind
To knock me in my drink
