Swimming upstream lyrics

Well I’ve been living in a dream that I can’t wake up from

Swimming up stream I cant get to the sea

Where the fish swim free

And staring at a screen that I don’t get much from

Staring so long I cant 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 Ive 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 that 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 ok 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

Its 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
