Sink or Swim
Shivering, she walks through the alleyway
Bitter cold numbs her fingers and toes
Passing by the tourists on holiday
Cigarette smoke lingers in her nose
Thinking back, she used to be satisfied
Being young, being pretty
Now she longs for a home by the countryside
Far away from the city
She doesn't know
Which way to go
She's stuck in between
Her plans and her dreams
Youth did her in
Now it's sink or swim
Searching through the halls of her worried mind
Looking hard for the time that she lost
It disappeared, her habits were the killing kind
She never figured out how much it cost
She doesn't know
Which way to go
She's stuck in between
Her plans and her dreams
Youth did her in
Now it's sink or swim
Long before she ever tried
Gave up on the countryside
Searching for a place to hide
Where she won't drown in tears she cried
Long before she ever tried
Gave up on the countryside
Searching for a place to hide
Where she won't drown in tears she cried
Bitter cold numbs her fingers and toes
Passing by the tourists on holiday
Cigarette smoke lingers in her nose
Thinking back, she used to be satisfied
Being young, being pretty
Now she longs for a home by the countryside
Far away from the city
She doesn't know
Which way to go
She's stuck in between
Her plans and her dreams
Youth did her in
Now it's sink or swim
Searching through the halls of her worried mind
Looking hard for the time that she lost
It disappeared, her habits were the killing kind
She never figured out how much it cost
She doesn't know
Which way to go
She's stuck in between
Her plans and her dreams
Youth did her in
Now it's sink or swim
Long before she ever tried
Gave up on the countryside
Searching for a place to hide
Where she won't drown in tears she cried
Long before she ever tried
Gave up on the countryside
Searching for a place to hide
Where she won't drown in tears she cried
