I hope you learn to swim this time
The tide is high, and I'm not throwing you the line (oh no)
You wanna take on the world too fast, slow down
I wanna be there to watch it all fall
[Verse 1: Apache Chief]
Spring time in a medical movement, words all burn but the rain feel soothing
Can't erase the past it's all useless, so I keep it moving full steam clean through it
Try to lie to her but she sees through it, school me on love but the kid so truant
She a good girl but a bit foolish, no strings attached why you still tied to it?
You frown, say I bring you down
Out with other women when you see me round the town
I know that dude been hollerin, he nothin but a clown
Never said you weren't a queen, but you never fit the crown
Days roll by and the phone still ring
Same old sighs that the same lies bring
"Yo I wanna be wit you but I can't," still stings
I'ma take it to the air till you clip my wings, till you clip my wings
[Hook: Shawn VanBrocklin]
I hope you learn to swim this time
The tide is high, and I'm not throwing you the line (oh no)
You wanna take on the world too fast, slow down
I wanna be there to watch it all fall
[Verse 2: Apache Chief]
They try to tell me that my dreams are crazy
And call me co*ky when I don't let em play me
It ain't my fault that you all live lazy
The dust of your life done settled now you jaded
I'm stickin tight to the script that made me
I'm tryna get this money but I'll never let it change me
I paint a picture with this pen so plainly
But still you confuse my behavior on the daily
I mean, it's never what you dream
You want it till you get it then it's never what you seemed
Tryna take off like a laser but they wanna stop the beam
And try to turn me to a product they already preconceived
Man you can trust that, I'ma say f** that
It's A.L.F. or nothin, we got nothin to discuss man
Man overboard hope you learn to swim it out
I ain't throwin you a line I can't even hear you shout
[Bridge: Shawn VanBrocklin]
You're searching for anything to keep you
Searching for anyone to keep you afloat
This is goodbye
[Hook: Shawn VanBrocklin]
I hope you learn to swim this time
The tide is high, and I'm not throwing you the line (oh no)
You wanna take on the world too fast, slow down
I wanna be there to watch it all fall
