Sink or Swim

Well I say, these days, time is, the new currency
And I’m broke, always spend my time with

My brothers far away, he’s in LA and this song puts him on my mind
So many things I’m looking for that I don’t have the time to find
Because all I ever wanted was to waste my days with you
But to be alive we’ve gotta grind for five and then weekend for two

Because everybody’s going crazy
It’s battle flight or sink or swim
(Sink or swim sink or swim)
Because everybody’s going crazy
(Going crazy)
It’s so easy, it’s so easy to get pulled in

I’ve seen, the most amazing things
Sea beds, and lunar halo rings
When stars shoot, I shoot right back at them
And I wish, for a little more time to spend

My brothers far away, he’s in LA and this song puts him on my mind
So many things that I’m looking for that I don’t have the time to find
Because all I ever wanted was to waste my days with you
But to be alive we’ve gotta grind for five and then we’re off for two

Because everybody’s going crazy
It’s battle flight or sink or swim
(Sink or swim sink or swim)
Because everybody’s going crazy
(Going crazy)
It’s so easy, it’s so easy to get pulled in

Because everybody’s going

All I ever wanted was to waste my days with you, yes
All I ever wanted was to waste my days with you
Because everybody’s going
Everybody’s going
