Compensating Lyrics by Imogen Clark

2022

You covered up my eyes
Spun me ‘round and counted twice
I wasn’t ready for your lies

You drove me to the beach
Played the smile, I called defeat
But you left me high and dry

I’m not waving, I’m drowning
Not waving, I’m drowning
Not waving, I’m drowning now

You know you’re such a big man with your pretty little ego
Driving ‘round town with your hand out the window
Everybody knows you’re compensating
New age man but you’re playing these old games
Trying so hard just to look like you’re not vain
Everybody knows you’re compensating

How’s it feel to social climb
In skinny jeans you ripped with a knifе?
I bet your mother’s proud

And look out, oh herе comes the king
He’s so strong and sensitive
You know what? I’m out

I’m not waving, I’m drowning
Not waving, I’m drowning
Not waving, I’m drowning now

You know you’re such a big man with your pretty little ego
Driving ‘round town with your hand out the window
Everybody knows you’re compensating
New age man but you’re playing these old games
Trying so hard just to look like you’re not vain
Everybody knows you’re compensating

I’m gonna make you regret ever meeting me
I’m gonna make you regret ever meeting me

I’m not waving, I’m drowning
Not waving, I’m drowning
Not waving, I’m drowning now

You know you’re such a big man with your pretty little ego
Driving ‘round town with your hand out the window
Everybody knows you’re compensating
New age man but you’re playing these old games
Trying so hard just to look like you’re not vain
Everybody knows you’re compensating
