The Gospel Youth
Afloat
[Verse 1]
I remember what it felt like to be saved
From all the hang-ups that I had when I was 16 years of age
Ten years on, and I still haven't found my place
To call my own, in bliss
Something I'll never replace

[Chorus]
But I've never felt any comfort in my skin
I've been breaking all of my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city's what I fear the most
I just don't know where to begin
I just don't know where to begin

[Verse 2]
I never said enough when it mattered most
This feline's got a hold onto my tongue
Her claws are buried deep
So far I'm paralysed
Lose or win, sink or swim
Just keep me afloat

[Chorus]
But I've never felt any comfort in my skin
I've been breaking all of my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city's what I fear the most
I just don't know where to begin
I just don't know where to begin

[Bridge]
I'm a shell of who I once was
Letting down the ones I love
I'm hiding from
And never talking to strangers
I know that we've all been hurt before
And the pain, it never heals
We just pick ourselves up off the floor
And tell ourselves that we'll never do this again

[Chorus]
But I've never felt any comfort in my skin
I've been breaking all my of bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city's what I fear the most
I just don't know where to begin
I just don't know where to begin
