Sideways in the Soup

from The Acorn Album by In Tent City

/

lyrics

You feel like you're flailing
in the bubbles from a breaker.
Like maybe you got caught inside
on a big set.
All of your energy spent
just keeping your head above water,
but you feel like you're going under.
And you are.
I mean, we all are.
But you are not yet.
You cannot yet.
Please don't yet.

Now, I don't blame you
for feeling like you're sinking.
No, you know that I'm familiar.
But I sure do wish
that you could feel better.
I don't want to be insensitive.
But if you could just pull it together
for all of us...
You've got so much to give.

I feel like I'm failing
to coax you from the current.
Like I'm sitting pretty on the beach
watching you drift out to sea.
Far be it from me to feel like it's my duty
to help anybody else breathe.
But you keep talking about
this art you want to make,
this person you want to be...

I want to see.
