Since childhood I've swum in vanity Stop swimming once and it's all over Every misstep pulls me under I thought that's what life was
I'm not a dolphin in a show so must keep going Even if this road is wrong
Now I just need to be me to be me I won't be their ideal Still not quite enough to be to be to be Now I just need to be me I found my own way to breathe underwater And I just want to be And I And I just want to be perfect for you. 'Cause I just want you close Just watch me, don't look away
Since childhood I've swum in vanity I heard a thousand phantom voices from the crowd Throwing stones and shouting names It was my fault, so I had to pay
I'm not a dolphin in a show so must keep going Even if this road is wrong because I want you
I'm not a dolphin in a show so must keep going Even if this road is wrong I'm putting my bets It's the only way
Now I just need to be me to be me I won't be their ideal Still not quite enough to be to be to be Now I just need to be me I found my own way to breathe underwater And I just want to be And I And I just want to be perfect for you. 'Cause I just want you close Just watch me, don't look away
