Confound it
I just lost it
I can't seem to hold on to it
I love it
I hate it
I just don't wanna be without it
All my feelings are mixed up and bottled in me
In the backdrop can't stop holding up
Two at a time
Might be the reason I'm falling
What do you want from me
I'm sinking underneath
Your anchor's tied to the feet
Of my hopes and my dreams, yeah
Kid born with no rhythm
He got gifts that just ain't one of em
Now he's trying to make a dollar
Selling records out on the corner
All his hopes and dreams are just lost on me
That's just a boat with a hole in the bottom
What do you want from me
I'm sinking underneath
Your anchor's tied to the feet
Of my hopes and my dreams
Some people leave and some people linger
Some keep their cool and some lose their temper
Some people lie and some people try way too hard
Go too far just to let everyone know they exist
But I never want to be a part of this because
I know too much to care
What do you want from me
I'm sinking underneath
Your anchor's tied to the feet
Of my hopes and my dreams
Hey, little girl
When you get up tomorrow
You'll see things out of control
1, 2, 3 in a state of emergency
I can't take any more
I've got this feeling inside
This little boat's on its way to the ocean floor
