Backstroke Lyrics by Requiem (AUS)

2021

[Verse 1]

Thoughts in my head, telling them to be still
Fears we hold, often they can seem real
Years gone by, love kept in a deep well
Ask myself, "is this how a dream feels?"
I don't know, keep going despite uncertainty
Trying to find what my worth can be
You do you, this is what works for me
Step by step, strive forward purposely
Stay up late overthinking my fate
Ironically tired from the internal debate
I sure made my bed, gotta lie in it
Change my mind every five minutes
Think about Nathaniеl, think about Malcolm
Worry about life, worry about the outcome
RIP Mac Millеr, RIP Natso
Feel like I'm swimming but I'm doing backstroke

[Chorus x 2]

Stay in your lane
Draw outside the lines
Make it day to day no matter design
We gonna be just fine
Floating til the edge of time

[Verse 2]

It's a matter of perspective
This game of life, don't like it you can change electives
Not a directive, just suggestive
Don't mirror my words I'm just reflective
Not a role model but a man of a mission
Not protective of your heart, your standards are missing
Heard wisdom and had the advantage to listen
Keep your head above water no matter position
Confident I'll sort it out
Where I’m now I’m more than sorta proud
Want a neat life, not something watered down
Even the poor days can be bought-around
Love life, feel rich just to exist
Puzzled, but keen to see if the piece fits
Unsure what's next or achievements we'll get
Continue day to day learning the meaning of this

[Chorus x 2]

Stay in your lane
Draw outside the lines
Make it day to day no matter design
We gonna be just fine
Floating til the edge of time
