    This song's meaning is that he is having problems with keeping up with the minimums of life, treading water refers to working really hard to do something really simple, in this case relationships. The more you know.

  • @BeatsPhD2000
    @BeatsPhD2000 Před 11 lety +3

    I love the fact that the vocal talent is raw and yet classic, but unusually paired with a synth/dub backing where, in a more mainstream area of production, a voice like Alex's would often be with a more narural/acoustic type backing. It's off the beaten track, which just makes me love his music even more.

She wanted to stay and do a smaller course where I was going but I encouraged her to go anyway! I really love her and miss her and can't wait till she comes back! I've just been worrying if the distance between us will tear apart our relationship and she'll gradually forget about me. Luckily i have this song to keep me going through my day!

    My girlfriend sometimes worries that I'm not over my ex. And it's a little true. I end up referring to him whenever I talk about anything from high school. I dated him for over 3 years, and I just can't get him out of my head. Her hair reminds me of running my fingers through his, short and curly. Her voice, soft and sweet and insecure, reminds me of his, loud and brassy, but somehow still afraid. The way we sometimes kiss, rough and strong, reminds me of how his teeth would drag over my lips. Maybe I'm not over him, but I'm trying and I want to be able to be here with her

    My heart just sank the moment I, saw you,
    You’re the image of a girl, that I used to know.
    Don’t be alarmed if it seems hard, for me to explain,
    But every detail of your face, makes me recall the name.
    Hmm I'm treading water,
    I keep, treading water!
    Maybe it’s another chance,
    To mug myself again!
    Maybe it’s another chance,
    I’m sure I'll mess things up in the same way
    Maybe it’s another chance,
    To mug myself again
    Can you forgive the things I do,
    That I can’t amend?
    Not the way I yearn for her,
    I hope you can’t pretend
    Girl you’re a fire and you'll find,
    That I want to get burnt,
    No matter what you can teach me,
    I’m sure I’ll never learn.
    Hmmm treading water,
    I keep, treading water
    Maybe it’s another chance,
    To mug myself again
    Maybe it’s another chance,
    I’m sure I'll mess things up in the same way
    Maybe it’s another chance,
    To mug myself again
    It’s my concentration,
    Seems spread too thin,
    And when you speak, my eyes glaze over
    I’m sorry girl, it’s not you it’s her
    And you're another chance,
    To mug myself again
    Baby you're another chance,
    I’m sure I'll mess things up in the same way
    Baby it’s another chance
    Baby it's another chance
    To mug myself again,
    Baby you're another chance,
    I'm sure I'll mess things up in the same way.
    Baby It's another chance,
    To mug myself again.
