Swimming Upstream 歌詞

Well I've been living in a dream that I can't wake up from Swimming up stream I can't get to the sea Where the fish swim free And staring at a screen that I don't get much from Staring so long, can't see wood from the trees Or the birds from the bees And half of the time well it flies right by Like childhood did In the blink of an eye And half of the time, well it goes so slow I sit outside and watch the grass grow Well I've been running on a treadmill, legs like lead Will there ever be a needle for this thread I've been weaving since I was born? And the papers read and the government said I should stay in bed to stop the virus spread I won't be leaving for so long Well some nights I feel okay, I close my eyes and I drift away Some nights I just lay and stare at the ceiling Like it's gonna go somewhere Swimming up stream Swimming up stream Oh and I keep swimming but I go nowhere It's all the same when I come up for air And I just can't get there Swimming up stream Swimming up stream Swimming up stream Stream
