lyrics

Can't believe it's so hard
just to find a little space where I belong
Been among the travellers
and the ravers and the junkies
squeezing out the last little bit of that spark
still I can't ignore
the feeling that remains
that I'm just not one of them
wasn't made to be a part of it
though I've tried so hard

I keep burning, burning bridges
should be learning from these stiches
but I'm still putting all of my hopes in you
to come around and save me
from myself

I can't swin these shallow waters no more
but I'm so scared of the deep

Been around the folky type of people playing tunes
I never quite believed had anything to do with me
or the way that I feel today

I keep burning, burning bridges
should be learning from these stiches
but I'm still putting all of my hopes in you
to come around and save me
from myself

I can't swin these shallow waters no more
but I'm so scared of the deep
