Treading Water - Chris Kläfford

This lonely heart of mine Grows colder every night And this glass upon my eye Falls victim to the light Stuck in California World out before ya But something's missing (something's missing) You should be happy Whatever that means But something feels different So wherever you are Hope you don't take too long I need a little love in my life I need a little love in my life I'm breaking my own rules You can't hurry things along So when you need a little love in life You find a little love Been pushing love away To save myself the hurt Ain't much heart left to break So clearly it don't work, work, work Stuck in California World out before ya But something's missing (something's missing) I should be happy Whatever that means I need anything to make me feel So wherever you are I hope you don't take too long I need a little love in my life I need a little love in my life I'm breaking my own rules You can't hurry things along So when you need a little love in life You find a little love Grew up underneath the rising love Watched it battle through the turbulence I just wanna feel understood Patiently, I waited patiently To share all of my insecurities First I really gotta work on me Grew up underneath the rising love Watched it battle through the turbulence I just wanna feel understood Patiently, I waited patiently To share all of my insecurities First I really gotta work on me Grew up underneath the rising love Watched it battle through the turbulence I just wanna feel understood Patiently, I waited patiently To share all of my insecurities First I really gotta work on me Grew up underneath the rising love Watched it battle through the turbulence I just wanna feel understood Patiently, I waited patiently To share all of my insecurities First I really gotta work on me

My heart just sank the moment I saw you You're the image of a girl that I used to know Don't be alarmed if it seems hard for me to explain But every detail of your face makes me recall her name Treading water, I keep treading water Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again Maybe it's another chance I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again Can you forgive the things I do that I can't amend Nor the way I yearn for her, I hope you can pretend Girl, you're a fire and you'll find that I want to get burned No matter what you can teach me I'm sure I'll never learn Treading water, I keep treading water Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again Maybe it's another chance I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again If my concentration seems spread too thin And when you speak my eyes glaze over I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her And you're another chance to mug myself again. Maybe you're another chance I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again And you're another chance to mug myself again. Maybe you're another chance I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again

I met a devil and they layed me down Made a promise not to hold me back Couldn't see it when they turned around Everything was turning black Speeding fast down an open road I can feel you underneath my skin Now you're smiling as I lose control Oh lord what a mess im in I'm running for a better day For a better day Running to the headlights Hoping I can find a way I can find a way I'm Running straight ahead and I wish I never opened the door If I never see your face again I want you to know I'm running for a better day For a better day Running to the headlights The bitter taste of a sweet escape Only left me wanting more and more My delusions and my mistakes Dont know what i came here for I'm running for a better day For a better day Running to the headlights Hoping I can find a way I can find a way I'm Running straight ahead and I wish I never opened the door If I never see your face again I want you to know I'm running for a better day For a better day Running to the headlights I can see your eyes when I'm here on the floor Don't wanna see them anymore I won't let you by when you knock at the door I know what you came here for I'm hoping for a better day For a better day I'm hoping for a better day For a better day I'm running straight ahead and I wish I could unravel it all Every little second that you made me crawl I'm not sitting waiting For you to show me love anymore I'm running straight ahead and I wish I never opened the door If I never see your face again I want you to know I'm running for a better day For a better day I'm running straight ahead and I wish I never opened the door If I never see your face again I want you to know I'm running for a better day For a better day I'm running for a better day For a better day Running to the headlights
