Tell me now, when does this start feeling
Like I understand everything I’m dealing with
First I was young, now it’s all just happening
And what about the way I said that
Made you turn around and shake your head
Like I don’t even know what I’m asking for

This could be all about just letting go
Or this could be all about just holding on

I can’t get my feet off of the ground
I want to run but I don’t know how
Can you reach down here and pull me out, can you pull me out, yeah
I want to scream but there’s no sound
I want to fly to you somehow
Can you reach me here and pull me out, can you pull me out, yeah

Remember when I was young and hungry
I could take it in without much money
I had nothing at all but dreams and time to kill
Now I feel like I’m treading water
And I’m hardly real, I’m just trying harder
To make my way on the earth by standing still

This could be all about just letting go
Or this could be all about just holding on

I can’t get my feet off of the ground
I want to run but I don’t know how
Can you reach down here and pull me out, can you pull me out, yeah
I want to scream but there’s no sound
I want to fly to you somehow
Can you reach me here and pull me out, can you pull me out, yeah

Not a moment too soon, you will be my rescue
But tell me how long will it take

I can’t get my feet off of the ground
I want to run but I don’t know how
Can you reach down here and pull me out, can you pull me out, yeah
I want to scream but there’s no sound
I want to fly to you somehow
Can you reach me here and pull me out, can you pull me out, yeah
