Oh, how the tides have turned
And I still haven't broken through the surface tension
I've got an itch that can't be scratched
And I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
For the right time to emerge
It seems to me we're meant to just hold our heads above the water
And struggle on and on in an attempt to stay afloat
I tried to live my life like this, but I sunk to the bottom
But tides are turning and now I'm on my way
Now there's nothing holding me back
As I'm piercing through the surface tension
The vessel's on it's way
So I set my sails
The tides have turned
And I still haven't broken through the surface tension
I've got an itch that can't be scratched
And I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
For the right time to emerge
A certain someone said to me that I'd better stay put
That I should stay in line and then just accept that there are rules
And maybe they were right and I've just been caught up in a mess
But I can't give up believing before I've tried my best
Now there's nothing holding me back
As I'm piercing through the surface tension
The vessel's on it's way
So I set my sails
The tides have turned
And I still haven't broken through the surface tension
I've got an itch that can't be scratched
And I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
For the right time to emerge
I am on my way
If I'm ever stranded I'll know how to escape
'Cause I played Monkey Island™ and I learned that there's a way
Paving my own path and disregarding what they say
If I were to choke, it's only 'cause I'm broke
And can't afford the rent, because my money has been spent
But I can say for sure at least that there was an attempt
