Taking on Water

This is the story of a life time left unfinished We were on the titanic, now I'm playing with the violinist I'm tryna sail to her heart, and everything’s falling apart So now I’m swimming to the outer limits And I try to keep my head above the water But this ship’s taking it on pretty fast Now I look to the horizon, take it all in Cause it might be my last We're all on different ships, but we’re taking the same trip You got there a little bit sooner, shows how easy it is to slip Everyday I check my lifeboats See there’s not enough and that I’m living a lie, so I’m facing the waves on my own And I try to keep my head above the water But this ship’s taking it on pretty fast Now I look to the horizon, take it all in Cause it might be my last And I try to keep my head above the water But this ship’s taking it on pretty fast Now I look to the horizon, take it all in Cause it might be my last Please, give me my key to the sky I’m through learning how to fly It’s my time, I’m gonna shine from afar I don’t wanna burn just to prove I'm a star I don’t wanna crash ‘for I get in the car Said I don’t wanna burn just to prove that I'm a star Cause I’ve already drowned just to prove I could float Was told there was water so I brought a raincoat, uh oh Guess I didn’t get the memo, new sights, new sounds, new people, hello
