To the me that lay there staring at the clock
Waiting for the hours to pass
In due time now you'll be begging it to stop
Doing anything to make them last, now
Don't think this train is ever slowing up, oh
Don't blink or you might just miss them sneaking up cause
These nights they'll
Have you on your knees before you know it
Searching for pockets of living
In these days that seem to float on by
You think that I'm swimming, but ooh
I've been barely treading water all this time
But don't say that I don't try
Don't say that I don't try
Check it
Lately I've been getting good at keeping my head above the water
But as the waves go by I just can't help but
Wonder where I'll be when that current catches up
With my hands in my pockets or both eyes on the clock?
Don't think, just hold your breath and take the plunge
If your heart sings, then what's all this hesitating, love?
Now don't be shy to call my name because we're always
Searching for pockets of living
In these days that seem to float on by
It looks like I'm swimming, but ooh (looks like I'm swimming, baby)
I've been barely treading water all this time
The hours keep on flowing, flowing, flowing
They keep on flowing, flowing, flowing
They keep on flowing, flowing, flowing
They keep on
Now don't stop searching for those pockets of living (oh, no)
In these days that seem to float on by
You think that I'm swimming, but ooh
I've been barely treading water all this time
But don't say that I don't try, oh no (the hours keep on flowing, flowing, flowing)
Don't say that I don't try (they keep on flowing, flowing, flowing)
Don't say that I don't try (they keep on flowing, flowing, flowing)
Yeah (they keep on)
I wanna stop these hours but they keep on flowing, flowing, flowing
La da da da da da da
Don't say that I don't try
You float on by
Don't say, don't say now that I don't, I don't
I said I, said I, said I, said I
I'm just a kid who's tryna figure it out
How to keep it all together with my feet on the ground
