Treading Water

Movies like zoos

Try another me and I will

Try another you

Or put my arms around you

Like I think you want me to

But tell me what you're thinking

I so often misconstrue

Treading water, treading white wine

Seeing borders, seeing straight lines

I get these feelings that I don't

Have much time

Always rushing always late

Always rushing always late

Always late

Movies like zoos

I talk to missionaries when they're

Standing at my door

They tell me what I should be reading

I still can't see what for

We both stand there politely trying

To change each other's core

Whenever angels float by

They seem likely to fall from the sky

What I want is difficult I must try

I see traces when you walk

Other voices when you talk

When you talk

Whenever angels float by

They seem likely to fall from the sky

What I want is difficult I must try

I see traces when you walk

Treading water, treading white wine

Seeing borders, seeing straight lines

I get these feelings that I don't

Have much time

Always rushing, always late

Always rushing, always late

Always late

Always late

I’m always rushing, always late

Always late

Always late

Always late

I’m always rushing

I’m always rushing

Always late
