Pardon me, my mistake Thought it my turn for a break But since the rain loves my face I'll just let it be. Long since gave up on long walks To make up for the long talks Lately the silence won't stop Talking at me (Chorus) And I'm getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change I've forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same I tread water I tread water Thought I earned my fair share Heard the devil may care But I called him up, he's not there. What does that mean? (Chorus) And I'm getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change I've forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same I tread water I tread water Thought that life would lead Far from Beauty's Beast Well, I know at least You can't count me out Because I'm used to the water now. (Chorus) And I'm getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change I've forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same And I'll never let this pair of hands forget to pull their weight This burden may be more than I would like to bear but less than I can take I tread water I tread water
