Taking Things For Granted Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the schoolyard when I was a kid
I gave everyone my address, said 'come on over'
And it turns out that nobody did
Swimming alone's how I spent my eighth birthday
And sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
I never got out of the water, even though I did

[Chorus]
Sometimes it feels like everyone's looking at the surface
And it's not happening on purpose
But they're taking things for granted again
[Verse 2]
I'm learning to right my wrongs
And speak up when I feel like I'm not being listened to
But some story entered my bones when I was far too young
To know not to listen to what people say
'Cause everybody's feeling the pressure Of a world that keeps trying to end us every day

[Chorus]
Sometimes it feels like everyone's looking at the surface
And it's not happening on purpose
But they're taking things for granted again

[Outro]
Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
I never got out of the water, even though I did
Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water
I never got out of the water, even though I did
Sometimes it feels like this world's got nothing for me
Getting blank stares in return for what I give
Sometimes I feel a thousand eyes looking down at the surface
And they're watching me drown on purpose
Oh, they're taking things for granted again
