lyrics

Here I go, I’ve crash the gates, to try to make it through
It scares me, as it ought to do, I bet it does you too
I know I can, but think I can’t, like I haven’t got a clue
I’m floundering, and Im full of doubt, shit, what am I to do?

Keep, keep, keep paddling, Keep on paddling, on to something

So Im here, without a plan, at least not one in sync
I’ve landed, so I’m stuck with it, and dancing on the brink
I can’t recall the strategies I need to help me link
So how do I make sense of it, I need some time to think

Keep, keep, keep paddling, Keep on paddling, on to something

Will I be an artist, who goes straight out of style
Will I be an astronaut, who falls a million miles
Will I be a robber who lacks all trace of guile
Will I be a peacemaker, whose heart is full of bile

Here I am, I’ve crashed the gates, I’m standing in the light
I don’t know what my lines are and it’s giving me a fright
It feels like I am up so high, I really don’t like height
I’m here now, oh what an awful, what an awful plight
