[Verse 1]
My heart just sank, the moment I saw you
You're the image of a girl that I used to know
Don't be alarmed if it seems hard for me to explain
But every detail of your face makes me recall her name
[Refrain]
Hmm, treading water
I keep, treading water
[Chorus]
Maybe it's another chance to mock myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance to mock myself again
[Verse 2]
Can you forgive the things I do that I can't amend
Now the way I yearn for her, I hope you can't pretend
Girl, you're a fire and you'll find that I want to get burned
No matter what you can teach me, I'm sure I'll never learn
[Refrain]
Hmm, treading water
I keep, treading water
[Chorus]
Maybe it's another chance to mock myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance to mock myself again
[Bridge]
If my concentration seems spread too thin
And when you speak, my eyes glaze over
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her
[Chorus]
And you're another chance to mock myself again
Maybe you're another chance
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance
Maybe it's another chance to mock myself again
Maybe you're another chance
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance to mock myself again
