Trying to swim but I'm drowning in the shallow end No deep water for this first timer You set a goal and cried a river which never ended, now it's an ocean and I'm an island. Set sail sailor Now the ship sunk and I'm watching the waters lap higher and higher, here I sink. I say a prayer under my breath and tip my hat to the sea before me. She finally got the best of me. No matter the time, no matter the work, I feel like I failed, like I let you down. Now take to the lifeboats, I added to these turbulent waves so with the ship I go. The waters taking me, so here I sit and with the ship I go.
