Sometimes, I find myself stuck in the middle with nowhere to turn So I pull it in and tell myself it all works out But then again, no one helps when things go wrong So I saved myself, saved myself I learned how to swim
Sometimes you find yourself stuck in the crowd with nowhere to turn So you go against what everybody feels but feelings burn Then you'll see that no one person rules the world You tell yourself that everybody learns how to swim
With it, don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide Just swim with it but first.
You put your feet on the ground, no, I can't pick you up every time No, I'm not your mother or your father Put your feet on the ground, no, I can't pick you up every time No, I can't go any further but I know
It's hard to do the right thing in the right place When you want to do something else in their face Do what I do, don't turn your back and walk away no Do what I do and learn how to swim
With it, don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide Just swim with it but first
You put your feet on the ground, no, I can't pick you up every time No, I'm not your mother or your father Put your feet on the ground, no, I can't pick you up every time No, I can't go any further, no, no
With it, don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide Just swim with it but first
You put your feet on the ground, no, I can't pick you up every time No, I'm not your mother or your father Put your feet on the ground, no, I can't pick you up every time No, I can't go any further
Put your feet on the ground Won't you put your feet on the ground? Every time you're fallin' down Won't you put your feet on the ground?
With it, don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide Don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide
Don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide Don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide
