Taking Things For Granted Songtext
In the school yard, when I was a kid
I gave everyone my address, said, "Come on over," and it
Turned out that nobody did
Swimming alone's how I spent
My eighth birthday, and
Sometimes, it feels like I never got out of the water, I
Never got out of the water, even though I did
Sometimes, it feels like everyone's looking at the surface, and
It's not happening on purpose
I gave everyone my address, said, "Come on over," and it
Turned out that nobody did
Swimming alone's how I spent
My eighth birthday, and
Sometimes, it feels like I never got out of the water, I
Never got out of the water, even though I did
Sometimes, it feels like everyone's looking at the surface, and
It's not happening on purpose
But, they're taking things for granted again
I'm learning to write my wrongs
And speak up when I feel like I'm not being listened to
Some story entered my bones
When I was far too young to know not to listen to
What people say, 'cause everybody's feeling the pressure of
A world that is trying to end us everyday
Sometimes, it feels like everyone's looking at the surface, and
It's not happening on purpose, but
They're taking things for granted again
Sometimes, it feels like I never got out of the water, I
Never got out of the water, even though I did
Sometimes, it feels like I never got out of the water, I
Never got out of the water, even though I did
Sometimes, it feels like this world's got nothing for me
Getting blank stares in return for what I give Sometimes, I feel a thousand eyes looking down at the surface, and
They're watching me drown on purpose, oh
They're taking things for granted again
I'm learning to write my wrongs
And speak up when I feel like I'm not being listened to
Some story entered my bones
When I was far too young to know not to listen to
What people say, 'cause everybody's feeling the pressure of
A world that is trying to end us everyday
Sometimes, it feels like everyone's looking at the surface, and
It's not happening on purpose, but
They're taking things for granted again
Sometimes, it feels like I never got out of the water, I
Never got out of the water, even though I did
Sometimes, it feels like I never got out of the water, I
Never got out of the water, even though I did
Sometimes, it feels like this world's got nothing for me
Getting blank stares in return for what I give Sometimes, I feel a thousand eyes looking down at the surface, and
They're watching me drown on purpose, oh
They're taking things for granted again
