lyrics

sharks and minnows
one, two, three
I'm at the bottom of the deep end
and I need to breathe
but I can't get myself to move

there's four on top
and five on the side
and if I make a move now
I can make it home alive
but I'm too afraid to choose

they're coming straight for me
they're not coming for me at all

am I making progress?
or is the other side
getting farther every year?
am I calling distress?
can I make it
or should I just get out of here?

my friends, they say
I'm not so far away
but my mother, she says
that I need to be safe
and I don't think that they're wrong

because the five on the side
are just trying to look cool
and the four on top
are getting out of the pool
did I wait too long?

they're coming straight for me
they're not coming for me at all

am I making progress?
or is the other side
getting farther every year?
am I calling distress?
can I make it
or should I just get out of here?

sharks and minnows
one, two three
I'm at the edge of the water
just kicking my feet
and I wish I could get back in

am I making progress?
or is the other side
getting farther every year?
am I calling distress?
can I make it
or should I just get out of here?
