(X2)
Well I've been li ving in a dream that I can't wake up from
Swimming upstream I can't get to the se a
Where the fish swim fr ee
And st aring at a screen that I don't get much from
Staring so long can't see wood from the t rees
Or the birds from the bees
And ha lf of the time well it flies right by
Like c hildhood did In the blink of an eye
And h alf of the time well it goes so slow
I si t outside and watch the grass grow
(X2)
Well I've been run ning on a treadmill legs like lead
Will there ever be a needle for this thread
I've been w eaving since I was born?
And the pap ers read and the government said
I should stay in bed to stop the virus spread
I won't be l eaving for so long
Well so me nights I feel okay
I cl ose my eyes and I drift away
S ome nights I just lay and stare at the c eiling
Like it's gonna go somewhere
Swimming ups trea m
Swimming ups trea m
Oh and I keep swimming but I g o nowhere
It's all the same when I come u p for air
And I just can't get t here
N.C.
Swimming ups trea m
Swimming ups trea m
Swimming ups trea m Stre am
