Sitting Ducks

[Verse 1]

Forget you can feel the wind blow

Start to peel back the things that sprout your smile

Pretend it's all on the line

Now watch colour fade into moonlight

Frame by frame, lose your memories as a child

Forget the wonderful ride

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause somewhere along

The way your feet settle down

With a frown on a big playground

All you could see but your heads facing down

In the sand, look around

[Chorus]

You've got some cards

Play your hand

Just sitting ducks in a rut

Shame you can't see far past your town

When you've got your head in the water

But I understand

[Verse 2]

Cover up these holes in your psyche

Act strategic as if you're far from home

Keep looking for the road

And before you get swallowed up

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause somewhere along the way

You'll feel tired and beat

Like your knees need a wiping clean

All you could see but your mind's incomplete

Look around, plant the seed

[Chorus]

You've got some cards

Play your hand

Just sitting ducks in a rut

Shame you can't see far past your town

When you've got your head in the water

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, I'll be watching you on your own

Oh, I'lI be hoping you test your bones

See how long you can

Carry this heavy load

With your head underwater

[Outro]

You've got some cards

Play your hand

Just sitting ducks in a rut

Shame you can't see far past your town

When you've got your head in the water
