 Pardon me my mistake
  Thought it might  turn for  a break
  But since the rain  loves my  face
  i'll let it be
  Long since i gave  up on long  walks
  To make up  for long  talks
  Cause lately the silence  wont stop  talking to me
 
 (And/Cause) Im getting weary waiting for
  the harbor  lights to change
  ive forgotten  what i do  it for
  but i tread  water just the same
  i tread water  ....  i tread water
   Thought ive earned my fair  share
  heard the devil  may  care
  but i called  him up he's not there
  what does that mean?
  (repeat chorus)
 
  Thought  that life would lead far from beauty's beast
   well i know  at least  you cant count  me out
  cause im used  to the water now
  (repeat 1st 4 lines of chorus)
 and i'll never  let this pair  of hands forget  to pull their weights
 
 it's burdened  maybe more than i would like to bear but less than i can take
 and ill tread water
 tread water tread water tread water fade...
