Swimming in the Weeds Lyrics

Living in the past is like swimming in the weeds

Thinking that you're clever while still swinging through the trees

Letting go of dreams, but holding fast to memories

We've lost our way

It seems to me

Gods of passion, lords of peace

Own the sky from west to east

They roil the waters

Then flee the beast

No more time

Only seasons

Without change

Making love amidst the pain

Falling down to rise again

But you don't know why or where or when

We've lost our way

It seems to me

Summer shade and winter kill

Stir the mind and move the quill

They last a moment

Or two until

No more time

Only seasons

Without change

Shuffling notes throughout the day

Struggling over things to say

When words fall short

And thoughts decay

We've lost our way

It seems to me

Gods of passion, lords of peace

Own the sky from west to east

They roil the waters

Then flee the beast

No more time

Only seasons

Without change

Living in the past is like swimming in the weeds

Thinking that you're clever while still swinging through the trees

Letting go of dreams, but holding fast to memories

We've lost our way

It seems to me
