Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same
Within us, all together
[Verse 2]
Everything carries weight
Everything is the same
And we are all together
[Verse 3]
I can't keep my head up
I'd like to stay by my friends
Stay by my friend
But I can't keep my head up
I can't seem to keep my head
[Verse 4]
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in, treading water
But you're still in, treading water
[Verse 5]
(I can't keep my head)
I'd hate to seem so shallow
I'd like to get deeper in
Swim deeper in
But I can't find the water
I can't seem to find my way
[Verse 6]
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in, treading water
But you're still in (Treading water)
[Verse 7]
I can't keep my head up
Can't keep my head up
I can't keep my head up
Can't keep my head up
I can't keep up
[Verse 8]
I can't keep my head up
I can't keep my head up
I can't keep my head up
I can't keep my head up
I can't keep up
[Verse 9]
But you're still in, treading water
[Verse 10]
Could it be we got lost in the summer?
Well I know you know that it's over
But you're still in, treading water
[Verse 11]
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
[Verse 12]
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
[Verse 13]
You can drift along
You've got the time
The rest of us will live and die
Like plastic soldiers
Only growing older
