Taking Things For Granted

[Verse 1]

In the schoolyard when I was a kid

I gave everyone my address, said 'come on over’

And it turns out that nobody did

Swimming alone's how I spent my eighth birthday

And sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water

I never got out of the water, even though I did

[Chorus]

Sometimes it feels like everyone's looking at the surface

And it’s not happening on purpose

But they're taking things for granted again

[Verse 2]

I'm learning to right my wrongs

And speak up when I feel like I'm not being listened to

But some story entered my bones when I was far too young

To know not to listen to what people say

'Cause everybody's feeling the pressure

Of a world that keeps trying to end us every day

[Chorus]

Sometimes it feels like everyone's looking at the surface

And it's not happening on purpose

But they’re taking things for granted again

[Outro]

Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water

I never got out of the water, even though I did

Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water

I never got out of the water, even though I did

Sometimes it feels like this world’s got nothing for me

Getting blank stares in return for what I give

Sometimes I feel a thousand eyes looking down at the surface

And they're watching me drown on purpose

Oh, they’re taking things for granted again
