Tread Water

Pardon me my mistake
Thought it might turn for a break
But since the rain loves my face
i'll let it be
Long since i gave up on long walks
To make up for long talks
Cause lately the silence wont stop talking to me
Chorus: (And/Cause) Im getting weary waiting for
the harbor lights to change
ive forgotten what i do it for
but i tread water just the same
i tread water .... i tread water
Thought ive earned my fair share
heard the devil may care
but i called him up he's not there
what does that mean?
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
Thought that life would lead far from beauty's beast
well i know at least you cant count me out
cause im used to the water now
(repeat 1st 4 lines of chorus)
Coda:
and i'll never let this pair of hands forget to pull their weights
it's burdened maybe more than i would like to bear but less than i can take
and ill tread water
tread water tread water tread water fade...
