Bait and Switch

Today I read the ocean's getting hotter

Pretty soon we’ll all be living underwater

What a shame

What a mess

We can’t outrun this denial

Now we’re in over our heads

And so I go to work

I get paid almost nothing

And I pay my bills and pray tomorrow's coming

It's so great

Yeah, it’s the best

Watching the clock tick down with the little time I’ve got left

Bait and switch

They got me good this time

The game was fixed, and no one really wins

I bought the lies, but I never asked for this

I’m running out of time, I’m running out of time

Is it too much to play my little songs and drive my car

To towns where people sing along but I'm so small?

A tiny seed

But I was growing big dreams before the world was crushing me

Bait and switch

They got me good this time

The game was fixed, and no one really wins

I bought the lies, but I never asked for this

I’m running out of time, I’m running out of time

Running out of time, I’m running out of time

I wish my brain was peaceful like a summer rain

Like my skinned knees are still the most painful thing that’s happened to me

There's no more scary voicemails that my family can leave

That say "Call me back"

And scare me to death

We still got time left

We still got time left

We still got time left

Bait and switch

They got me good this time

The game was fixed, and no one really wins

I bought the lies, but I never asked for this

I’m running out of time, I’m running out of time

Running out of time, I’m running out of time

Running out of time
