Paddling (Edit) Lyrics by Squid

Paddling - Single

2021

[Verse 1]
Patient, in control
Dig holes like a mole
Patient, oars in stow
Just do what you're told

[Chorus]
There are people, there are people inside
And they're changing in shape and in size
Where you going? Don't wanna go there
You comb your hair and you tense the muscle
There are people, there are people inside
And they’re watching while I’m taking the dive
Where you going? Don't wanna go there
But you comb your hair and you tense the muscle

[Verse 2]
Thrash 'round, make it worse
In your day of firsts
Sink down through the waves
Red-faced now but safe

[Chorus]
There are people, there are people inside
And they're changing in shape and in size
Where you going? Don't wanna go there
You comb your hair and you tense the muscle
There are people, there are people inside
Put me a coat and step me in line
Where you going? Don't wanna go there
But you comb your hair and you tense the muscle

[Bridge]
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
Well, you're pushing me in
Well, you're pushing me in
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
Well, you're pushing me in
Well, you're pushing me in

[Break]
(I don't wanna go there)
(You're pushing me in)
(I don't wanna go there)
(You're pushing me in)

[Outro]
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
Don't push me in
