"Bathtub" lyrics

"Bathtub"

I'm swimming upstream with
Rocks around my feet
You might think I was a martyr
Or some kind of triathlete
If you're looking for answers
All I've got are questions
Oh it's so hard when you
Can't learn your lessons

What gives, when you're running on empty
What lives, at the bottom of my darkest sea
Who knows, what's in store for me
But I feel like life is giving me
The third degree

I don't know why I try
If all of my failures were dimes
I could fill up a bathtub
I don't know how this ends
If all of my failures were friends
I'd be in some kind of cool club
Some kind of cool club

Oh I face the fire and, things take a turn
You might think I was gasoline, the way that I get burned
If you're looking for acceptance, oh I only know rejection
I can't learn my lines, and I've never learned my lessons

What gives, when you're running on empty
What lives, at the bottom of my darkest sea
Who knows, what's in store for me
But I feel like life is giving me
The third degree

I don't know why I try
If all of my failures were dimes
I could fill up a bathtub
Fill up a bathtub
I don't know how this ends
If all of my failures were friends
I'd be in some kind of cool club
Some kind of cool club

I don't know why I try
If all of my failures were dimes
I could fill up a bathtub
I don't know how this ends
If all of my failures were friends
I'd be in some kind of cool club
Some kind of cool club
