"Stone Over Water" lyrics

In my mind there's a fog
San Francisco couldn't handle
'Cause oh how this year's been a slog
Melting both ends of the candle

And how I wish I could claim
That I don't harbor ill feelings
As my anger's turning to shame
And I stare a hole through the ceiling

I'm trying to hold it together
I'm trying to sleep through the night
I've got my windows open to the weather
And I keep telling my friends I'm alright
Yeah I'm trying to hold it together
Trying to take the first step
Into the arms of wherever
Whenever

Every day I awake
Like a stone over water
Skipping across a lake
Before I sink to the bottom

And how I wish I could say
That I'm immune to the mirror
With temples fading to grey
I'm seeing the end drawing nearer

And I can scream and shout
Or learn to live without

But I'm trying to hold it together
I'm trying to sleep through the night
I've got my windows open to the weather
And I keep telling my friends I'm alright
Yeah I'm trying to hold it together
Trying to take the first step
Into the arms of wherever
Whenever
