Undertow

Tryin' not to lose myself
In the women and the wine
Tryin' not to change my point of view
Hopin' I can keep my feet
Above the waterline
Even after all my dreams come true
In a sea of motion
Water edged with foam
Clingin' to the things I used to know
Swallowed by an ocean
Sinking like a stone
But I'm drownin' in the undertow
Tryin' not to lose myself
In the glitter and the gold
Tryin' not to change the way I see
Hopin' I can keep my eyes
On things that stay the same
'Cause I cannot keep my hold
Even on the things I know are real
Caught upon the waters
Of some dark and nameless sea
Whoa let the current carry me
Tryin' not to lose myself
In the fortune and the fame
Tryin' not to change the way I see
Hopin' I can keep my eyes
On the things that stay the same
And disregard the things that seem to be
