truman show Lyrics

I think we played pretend as kids so that when we'd get older

We'd not have to think about the things that made us colder

Taught to play it safe so we stay on the same trajectories

Never veer off course to scope out other possibilities

Just keep your head down

And don't mess around

Don't bother to swim, who cares if you drown, drown, drown

Made it so to life we'd think that there is nothing more

Something comes to knock but don't you dare open the door

I think I'll end up wishing that I chose to do more with my life

But they never let me, so I never tried

Just keep your head down

And don't mess around

Don't bother to swim, who cares if you drown, drown, drown

I'm bounded by choices I did not decide

I looked at my future, and I took in the tides

As they rose more than I thought that I could bear

I saw through them enough to know that it's not fair

That we live in a world that's so guided by fear

I could cry till I drown, but they'd say dry your tears

How's it going to end

If all I do is pretend

I'm not sick of this lifestyle

Picket fences and fake smiles

How much longer can persuasions last

Kinda scared to know but I asked

Is it all in my head

What could happen instead

Just keep your head down

And don't mess around

Don't bother to swim, who cares if you drown
