[00:09.33]Well I've been living in a dream
[00:11.00]That I can't wake up from
[00:12.32]Swimming up stream I can't get to the sea
[00:16.29]Where the fish swim free
[00:19.73]And staring at a screen that I don't get much from
[00:22.11]Staring so long can't see wood from the trees
[00:26.11]Or the birds from the bees
[00:29.84]And half of the time well it flies right by
[00:32.06]Like childhood did
[00:33.15]In the blink of an eye
[00:37.40]And half of the time well it goes so slow
[00:39.58]I sit outside and watch the grass grow
[00:51.91]Well I've been running on a treadmill legs like lead
[00:54.39]Will there ever be a needle for this thread
[00:56.83]I've been weaving since I was born
[01:01.89]And the papers read and the government said
[01:04.26]I should stay in bed to stop the virus spread
[01:06.65]I won't be leaving for so long
[01:11.95]Well some nights I feel okay I close my eyes
[01:15.39]And I drift away
[01:19.52]Some nights I just lay and stare at the ceiling
[01:22.50]Like it's gonna go somewhere
[01:28.64]Swimming up stream
[01:33.67]Swimming up stream
[01:39.98]Oh and I keep swimming but I go nowhere
[01:45.29]It's all the same when I come up for air
[01:50.24]And I just can't get there
[01:59.82]Swimming up stream
[02:04.76]Swimming up stream
[02:09.74]Swimming up stream
