Treading Water - Alex Clare

My heart just sank, the moment I saw you

You’re the image of a girl, that I used to know

Don’t be alarmed if it seems hard, for me to explain

But every detail of your face, makes me recall her name

Hmmmmm I’m treading water, I keep, treading water

Maybe it’s another chance, to mock myself again

Maybe it’s another chance — I’m sure I’ll fuck things up in the same way

Maybe it’s another chance, to mock myself again

Can you forgive, the things I do, that I can’t amend

Now the way I yearn for her, I hope you can’t pretend

Girl, you’re a fire, and you’ll find, that I want to get burned

No matter what you can teach me, I’m sure I’ll never learn

Hmmmmm I’m treading water, I keep, treading water

Maybe it’s another chance, to mock myself again

Maybe it’s another chance--I'm sure I’ll fuck things up in the same way

Maybe it’s another chance, to mock myself again

If my concentration seems spread too thin

And when you speak, my eyes glaze over

I’m sorry girl, it’s not you, it’s her

And you’re another chance, to mock myself again

Maybe you’re another chance — I’m sure I’ll fuck things up in the same way

Maybe it’s another chaaannncce

Maybe it’s another chance, to mock myself again

Maybe you’re another chance — I’m sure I’ll fuck things up in the same way

Maybe it’s another chance, to mock myself again
