Pick me up, ‘cause I'm broken
I've got rust creeping through my veins
I recall what they all said when I set sail across Great Lakes
[Pre-Chorus]
“You'll never make it
You'll never navigate the sea alone
You'll never make it
I've seen better men go down
Stay home”
[Chorus]
But I cast off anyway
Created my fate
Pulled my anchor up at dawn
I cast off anyway
Created my fate
And the birds sang me along, oh
I need this water to help me breathe
‘Cause I'm on fire constantly
I'm in love with an old man who I see in the mirror each day
I surround myself with friends who I never expect to say
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus] x2
I need this water to help me breathe
‘Cause I'm on fire constantly
