I’ll swim in a sea of approval, I will,
For a panacea, a surety, my insecurity calling for more than a thrill,
But surely a man doesn’t bend to a will,
But you bend and you break and you mend
and you tell all your friends in a song that it’s wrong and you’re ill
I tried so hard it isn’t funny
Tell me how I, how I should have done it
And I keep on looking
Will you tell me something
How long do I have to keep on running, running?
Can I keep on running?
A memory taken each day like a pill
The mark on the wall that you kick when you fight in the dead of the night ’til the voices are still,
I’ll swim in a sea of approval I think,
Until when they bury me finally you can see maybe a time when a swimmer will sink
I tried so hard it isn’t funny
Tell me how I, how I should have done it
And I keep on looking
Will you tell me something
How long do I have to keep on running, running
Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running running?
I’ll swim in a sea of approval i will
Can I keep on running
I’ll swim in a sea of approval i will
Can I keep on running
I tried so hard it isn’t funny
Tell me how I should have done it
I keep looking
Tell me something
How long do I
Have to keep on running running?
I tried so hard it
Isn’t funny
Tell me how I should have done it
I keep looking
Tell me something
How long do I
Have to keep on running?
