Sink or Swim
All my life i've been told to act my age
Grow up fast but live slow
There's just no way
I'll adhere to the rules you try to force upon me
I'm sick of playing it safe when i just want to be free
I'll make my own mistakes then you'll know who to blame
So when the gears are turning slow
And you've got nowhere to go
Deep breaths, clenched fists
I wanna go home
You'll find me jumping off bridges
Don't talk cause i'm not listening
Sink or swim, i can't win
Spend my time always broke
Cause all i'm blowing is smoke
Scared to death of the thing i lovе the most
Sink or swim i can't win so i'll keep floating
All my life i've been told
Earn yoursеlf a good pay
You'll be on your way
I don't really understand how that's supposed to help me
Cause when i look at my bank, it's only numbers i see
Do you know of anyone selling happiness?
I'll pay whatever cause the truth is i can't handle this
So when the gears are turning slow
And you've got nowhere to go
You'll find out for yourself who you are and what you're for
Keep your head above the clouds and you will never drown
Deep breaths, clenched fists
I wanna go right back home
You'll find me jumping off bridges
Don't talk cause i'm not listening
Sink or swim, i can't win
Spend my time always broke
Cause all i'm blowing is smoke
Scared to death of the thing i love the most
Sink or swim i can't win so i'll keep floating
With the current i'll keep treading water
Take all what's left of me
Devoid of all empathy
Searching for some personality
So don't come rescue me
I'm doing fine
Pour myself a wine
Do it every night, forget it
You'll find me jumping off bridges
Don't talk cause i'm not listening
Sink or swim, i can't win
Spend my time always broke
Cause all i'm blowing is smoke
Scared to death of the thing i love the most
Sink or swim i can't win
You'll find me jumping off bridges
Don't talk cause i'm not listening
Sink or swim, i can't win
Spend my time always broke
Cause all i'm blowing is smoke
Scared to death of the thing i love the most
Sink or swim i can't win
Grow up fast but live slow
There's just no way
I'll adhere to the rules you try to force upon me
I'm sick of playing it safe when i just want to be free
I'll make my own mistakes then you'll know who to blame
So when the gears are turning slow
And you've got nowhere to go
Deep breaths, clenched fists
I wanna go home
You'll find me jumping off bridges
Don't talk cause i'm not listening
Sink or swim, i can't win
Spend my time always broke
Cause all i'm blowing is smoke
Scared to death of the thing i lovе the most
Sink or swim i can't win so i'll keep floating
All my life i've been told

You'll find me jumping off bridges
Don't talk cause i'm not listening
Sink or swim, i can't win
Spend my time always broke
Cause all i'm blowing is smoke
Scared to death of the thing i love the most
Sink or swim i can't win
