I lie afloat in shallow water. I'm thinking to myself, is it just me? Or is there an alligator in the water That's biting off my head each time I speak? I feel so uneasy I'm not entirely sure what all this is for If you take it all, I'm never gonna get it back Don't take it from me. You're never gonna give it back My patience is gone and I'm never gonna get it back Oh, please give it back to me I wish I was the alligator I wish I was that strong, but it can't see So what is it waiting for? Could I be any more tired and weak? I wish this was easy I'm not entirely sure what you're waiting for If this isn't my song and story What would it be? Tonight is all I have and all I need My song and story, it's all I need Man, I wish this was easy Take it easy If you take it all, I'm never gonna get it back Don't take it from me You're never gonna give it back My patience is gone and I'm never gonna get it back I'll never get it back Man, I wish this was easy
