Was I on the outside or inside where you meant? Head above water Looking fine But I was sinking fast Taking time to think Wavering Head above water Looking fine But I was sinking fast I saw the line Marked as a warning Where should I have stood To make it clear? Was I above Or underneath? I took too much time to think Wavering Head above water Looking fine But I was sinking fast I’m on the outside Still wavering Trying to understand Why I kept chasing lines Rise and fall Marked by delicate hands Worn-out lines To show how high And where you said was dry I saw the warning Stayed where it was drawn Still swept away With the crowd looking on Was I really standing Where you said was all right? Or already underneath With the mark out of sight? I see the etching Still above me here Marked to remind me Of where I should have stood I stayed there How did I disappear? I took too much time to think Wavering Head above water Looking fine But I was sinking fast I’m on the outside Still wavering Trying to understand Why I kept chasing lines Behind the tide line You said I’d be fine Standing still where you left me I was swept away Beneath the mark or above Did anybody see Where I stood Before I disappeared? I’m on the outside Still wavering I had my head above water Looking fine But I was sinking fast I took too much time to think Wavering Head above water Looking fine But I was sinking fast I waited for you To come back Where should I have stood? You drew the line I stayed behind Why am I still wavering?
