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 till 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?
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'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, running?
