Life Jacket

I think I need a life jacket
To keep me afloat
I swear the only difference between you and me
Is that I tend to let myself down constantly
And that's okay

That's how it's always been
I swear the only difference between you and me
Is that I tend to let myself down
And that's okay

I miss the summer nights on your front porch
Cigarette smoke in all of our clothes
We thought we were so cool when we were so young
You had to grow up, you had to grow
I miss laughing until we couldn't breathe at all

Now I need a life jacket
To keep me afloat
I swear the only difference between you and me
Is that I tend to let myself down constantly
Need a life jacket
To keep me afloat
I've always been slowly sinking
While you are safely swimming away

Swim away

Keep me afloat
Remain calm
Slow down
We're desperately trying to go upstream
The mountains keep stretching and stretching

Can we rewind? (Can we rewind?)
Can we rewind? (Can we rewind?)
Can we rewind? (Can we rewind?)

Now, give me a second chance

(Need a life jacket)
I think I need a life jacket
Because I tend to let myself down
