[Verse 1]
Pardon me, my mistake
Thought it my turn for a break
But since the rain loves my face
I'll let it be

Long since gave up on long walks
To make up for long talks
'Cause lately the silence won't stop
Talking at me

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm getting weary
Waiting for the harbor lights to change
I've forgotten what I do it for
But I tread water, just the same

[Chorus]
I tread water
I tread water

[Verse 2]
Thought I earned my fair share
Heard the Devil may care
But I called him up, he's not there
What does that mean?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm getting weary
Waiting for the harbor lights to change
I've forgotten what I do it for
But I tread water, just the same

[Chorus]
I tread water
I tread water

[Bridge]
Thought that life would lead
Far from beauty's beast
Well, I know at least
You can't count me out
'Cause I'm used to the water now

[Piano Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm getting weary
Waiting for the harbor lights to change
I've forgotten what I do it for
But I tread water, just the same

And I'll never let this pair of hands
Forget to pull their weight
This burden may be more than I would like to bear
But less than I can take
[Chorus]
And I'll tread water
I tread water, yeah
I tread water
I tread water
