Couldn’t ever let go of a what if
I can turn right up where I’m not wanted
and I can read your mind in hindsight
tell me I’m clever, tell me I’m alright
But hey how long can you keep your head under water
see how fast I can run that track
all your faith is unravelling, travelling
all that heart yet you can’t look back
If you gave me a rope I would walk it
anything to please you what do I get
forget about the past and look at me
I can do a dance I can be Sylvester still I promise you
And I know better I think
about it all the time
so hey how long can you keep your head under water
see how fast I can run that track
All your faith is unravelling travelling
all that heart yet you can’t look back
and I know better I think
about it all the time
and I was better before
don’t try to remind me
So hey how long can I keep my head under water
see how fast I can run that track
all my faith is unravelling, travelling
all that heart yet you can’t look back
