Have you ever looked back through your memories
And think something different
depending on what you see?
If you look back on yourself, you think,
This isn't right
But if you look back on the memory, you think,
That isn't me.

Have you ever felt like your life is a flowing tide
You have to wade against it to get anything done
But you end up getting swept aside?
And so you're trapped, beneath the waves
You feel as though you're on top,
as you drown helplessly below.

Have you ever felt like you can't change?
You try and you try, but along the line,
you slip up and fail again?
Obvious lessons you never learn,
and how everyone around
is cursed with pain.

If you have ever felt this way, then you and I,
We are the same.
If you always feel this way, then you and I,
We are the same.
