Lyrics

I'll swim in a sea of approval, I will
For a panacea, a surety, my insecurity calling
for more than a thrill
But surely a man doesn't bend to a will
But you bend and you break and you mend
and you tell all your friends in a song
that it's wrong and you're ill

I tried so hard it isn't funny
Tell me how I, how I should have done it
And I keep on looking
Will you tell me something
How long do I have to keep on running, running?

Can I keep on running?

A memory taken each day like a pill
The mark on the wall that you kick when you fight
in the dead of the night 'til the voices are still
I'll swim in a sea of approval I think
Until when they bury me finally
you can see maybe a time when a swimmer will sink

I tried so hard it isn't funny
Tell me how I, how I should have done it
And I keep on looking
Will you tell me something
How long do I have to keep on running, running

Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running running?

I'll swim in a sea of approval i will
Can I keep on running
I'll swim in a sea of approval i will
Can I keep on running

I tried so hard it isn't funny
Tell me how I should have done it
I keep looking
Tell me something
How long do I
Have to keep on running running?

I tried so hard it
Isn't funny
Tell me how I should have done it
I keep looking
Tell me something
How long do I
Have to keep on running?

I'll swim in a see of approval I will Can I keep on running?
I'll swim in a sea of approval I will Can I keep on running?
I'll swim in a see of approval I will Can I keep on running?
I'll swim in a sea of approvalI will
Can I keep on running running?
