lyrics

I could never look ahead so i kept focus on my feet
As if they knew where to take me besides down the same old streets
As if they’re shuffling on to better things
I’ll keep on walking this town until it started to rain
Just because I know my roots doesn’t mean that I’ll get planted there
My ship is sinking, It’s hard to just stay afloat
Been treading water for years and it’s all I know
My feet are fumbling for some solid ground or maybe something to stand on
I could never look ahead so i just closed my eyes
And I hoped for the best and stuck to guiding lights
Just because I know my roots doesn’t mean that I’ll get planted there
You better move your feet or you’ll get stuck here
You better learn to breath or you’ll burn out
