Sink or Swim

Mostly we repeat "We're tired" Back and forth As we come home in the dark And e-mail, sorry for the late reply Back and forth My brain keeps getting away from me To the point where when I close my eyes I see The million, million plastic particles Covering the ocean floor Floating back and forth Back and forth This is not the fall I was expecting Warm winds This is not the fall I was expecting Warm winds It's too warm for October It's too warm for October I agonize But I don't agonize enough Keep seeing my grandchildren die But I can't seem to turn the lights off As I leave the room And I leave the room Believe me, baby, I leave the room This is not the fall I was expecting Warm winds This is not the fall I was expecting Warm winds It's too warm for October It's too warm for October It's too warm for October It's too warm for October It's not politics, it's sink or swim It's not politics, it's sink or swim It's keeping our head above water It's not politics, it's sink or swim It's not politics, it's sink or swim It's keeping our head above Keeping our head above Keeping our head above water It's not politics, it's sink or swim It's not politics, it's sink or swim It's keeping our head above Keeping our head above Keeping our head above water
