- Treading Water Lyrics / with translationsMy heart just sank the moment I saw you,
You're the image of a girl that I used to know
Don't be alarmed, if it seems hard, for me to explain
But every detail of your face makes me recall the name
Hmmm treading water, I keep
Treading water
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I'll f*ck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Can you forgive the things I do that I can't amend?
Not the way I yearn for her
I hope you can't pretend
Girl you're a fire and you'll find
That I want to get burned
No matter what you can teach me
I'm sure I'll never learn
Hmmm treading water, I keep
Treading water
Maybe its another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I'll f*ck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
If my concentration
Seems spread too thin
And when you speak, my eyes glaze over
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her
And your another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe your another chance
I'm sure I'll f*ck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance-e-e-e
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe your another chance
I'm sure I'll f*ck things up in the way way
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
You're the image of a girl that I used to know
Don't be alarmed, if it seems hard, for me to explain
But every detail of your face makes me recall the name
Hmmm treading water, I keep
Treading water
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I'll f*ck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Can you forgive the things I do that I can't amend?
Not the way I yearn for her
I hope you can't pretend
Girl you're a fire and you'll find
That I want to get burned
No matter what you can teach me
I'm sure I'll never learn
Hmmm treading water, I keep
Maybe its another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I'll f*ck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
If my concentration
Seems spread too thin
And when you speak, my eyes glaze over
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her
And your another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe your another chance
I'm sure I'll f*ck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance-e-e-e
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe your another chance
I'm sure I'll f*ck things up in the way way
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
