[Verse 1]
I’ve been living it up
I’ve been living on savings
I haven’t given up just yet
I’ve been trying it all
Dollar scratchers under my nails
Still betting on beginners luck
[Pre-Chorus]
Call me if you need me
I’ll be dancing in the mirror
[Chorus]
Smooth sailing all right
Just skating on by
Hanging tough
Sailing all right
Just skating on by
Hanging tough
[Verse 2]
I’ve been dreaming alone
I’ve been cruising round solo
Working hard in the astral plane
Kinda breaking the rules
Been waiting on that windfall
Still betting on beginners luck
[Pre-Chorus]
Call me if you need me
I’ll be dancing in the mirror
[Chorus]
Smooth sailing all right
Just skating on by
Hanging tough
Sailing all right
Just skating on by
Hanging tough
[Bridge]
Waiting’s not so bad
I’m cool with where I’m at
[Pre-Chorus]
Call me if you need me
I’ll be dancing in the mirror
Call me if you need me
I’ll be dancing in the mirror
[Chorus]
Smooth sailing all right
Just skating on by
Hanging tough
Sailing all right
Just skating on by
Hanging tough
Sailing all right
Just skating on by
Hanging tough
Sailing all right
Just skating on by
