Taking Things For Granted

In the school yard when I was a kid I gave everyone my address, said, "Come on over," and it- It turns out that nobody did Swimmin' alone's how I spent my eighth birthday 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 lookin' at the surface And it's not happenin' on purpose But they're takin' things for granted again I'm learnin' to write my wrongs (learnin' to write my wrongs) And speak up when I feel like I'm not bein' listened to But some story entered my bones When I was far too young to know not to listen to What people say, 'cause (ah) everybody's feelin' the pressure (ah) Of a world that keeps tryin' to end us everyday Sometimes it feels like (ah) everyone's lookin' at the surface (ah) And it's not happenin' on purpose But they're takin' 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 Gettin' blind stares in return for what I give Sometimes I feel a (ah) thousand eyes lookin' down at the surface (ah) And they're watchin' me drown on purpose Oh, they're takin' things for granted again
