Treading Water

(album: Building A Woman - 2023)

If we're only running out of time
What do we do about it whilst we're still alive?
How am I supposed to know inside
When I'm right or wrong, how do we decide?

Oh, show me the way
I want to make the most of this
I've got so much more to give
Oh, enough of wasted time
I've been crawling, dragging heels
And treading water in a pool that isn't mine
(Crawling, dragging heels
And treading water)
Pool that isn't mine
(Crawling, dragging heels
And treading water)

If we're only running out of life
Why does it take so long for me to find my stride?
Can I now be bold enough to fly?
Whether I'm right or wrong, is it worth a try?

Oh, show me the way
I want to make the most of this
I've got so much more to give
Oh, enough of wasted time
I've been crawling, dragging heels
And treading water in a pool that isn't mine
(Crawling, dragging heels
And treading water)
Pool that isn't mine
(Crawling, dragging heels
And treading water)

Swim for me, oh, swim for me, darling
Crawl for me, all over me
Lap me once again, my darling, now
Swim for me, oh, swim for me, darling
Crawl for me, all over me
Lap me once again, my darling, now

If we're only running out of time
What do we do about it whilst we're still alive?
How am I supposed to know inside
When I'm right or wrong, how do we decide?

Oh, show me the way
I want to make the most of this
I've got so much more to give
Oh, enough of wasted time
I've been crawling, dragging heels
And treading water in a pool that isn't mine
(Crawling, dragging heels
And treading water)
Pool that isn't mine
(Crawling, dragging heels
And treading water)
Pool that isn't mine
(Crawling, dragging heels
And treading water)
(Crawling, dragging heels
And treading water)
