Sometimes I find myself stuck in the middle with nowhere to turn

So I pull it in and tell myself it all works out

But then again no one helps when things go wrong

So I saved myself saved myself I learned how to swim



Sometimes you find yourself stuck in the crowd with nowhere to turn

So you go against what everybody feels but feelings burn

Then you'll see that no one person rules the world

You tell yourself that everybody learns how to swim

With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide

Just swim with it but first...



You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time you're falling down

No I'm not your mother or your father

You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time you're falling down

No I can't go any further but I know



It's hard to do the right thing in the right place

When you want to do something else in their face

Do what I do don't turn your back and walk away no

Do what I do and learn how to swim



With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide

Just swim with it but first...

You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time you're falling down

No I'm not your mother or your father

You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time you're falling down

No I can't go any further NO NO



Just learn how to swim

With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide

Just swim with it but first...



You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time you're falling down

No I'm not your mother or your father

You put your feet on the ground

I can't pick you up every time you're falling down

No I can't go any further

Put your feet on the ground

Won't you put your feet on the ground, no I can't pick you up

Everytime you're falling down

Put your feet on the ground

And learn how to swim

With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide

Just swim
