lyrics

it took too long to realize
I’ve been adrift all these years
floating aimlessly to wherever the current takes me

I used to feel I don’t deserve the things I don’t like about my life
now wonder if I haven’t earned the things I do like about my life

the currents have been kind to me so far
but now it seems I’m in the middle of nowhere
don’t see any land in any direction, don’t know which way to go

now I'm not sure what to make of this absence of ambition
do I continue to let the currents decide
or do I blindly choose a path to swim?

I don’t want much from life
but then I don’t have much to live for
do I have the right to have no desire
to make an effort to swim to shore
before I lose my buoyancy?

took way too long to figure out
I’m not the center of the universe
it took even longer to realize I am a part of this world
