lyrics

To Be Something More (Milligan/Kovacs)

You're underwater
And your feet can't touch the ground
Sinking further
Can you hold your breath now?
This life isn't meant to be the sinking ship left out at sea
You took your backup plan and drew a line in the sand
And now you're empty as a soul could be

That safe plan
The less passionate plan
You didn't understand
Can you try again?

Drowning you now but it comes in waves
Taking a breath every couple of days
You kinda get by but you have to just go
To be something more

Past due for a raise
Can't turn off the phone
Sent out resumes
They say "If we need you then we'll let you know"
You spend all you money on the silly things to get you through the weekdays
Now you can't afford to get away

You just need to get away
To get away

Try to turn it around but you're stuck in the hole
Forgetting the faces that you used to know
You were running around through the bowels of this town
Oh this town

Running away, took a plane and a boat
It brought you to waves on a foreign shore
Forgotten names that you had to let go
To be something more
