Pardon me, my mistake
Thought it my turn for a break
But since the rain loves my face
I'll just let it be.

Long since gave up on long walks
To make up for the long talks
Lately the silence won't stop
Talking at me

(Chorus)
And I'm getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change
I've forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same
I tread water
I tread water

Thought I earned my fair share
Heard the devil may care
But I called him up, he's not there.
What does that mean?

(Chorus)
And I'm getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change
I've forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same
I tread water
I tread water

Thought that life would lead
Far from Beauty's Beast
Well, I know at least
You can't count me out
Because I'm used to the water now.

(Chorus)
And I'm getting weary waiting for the harbor lights to change
I've forgotten what I do it for but I tread water just the same
And I'll never let this pair of hands forget to pull their weight
This burden may be more than I would like to bear but less than I can take
I tread water
I tread water
