"Life Jacket" lyrics

I think I need a life jacket to keep me afloat
I swear the only difference between you and me
Is that I tend to let myself down constantly, and that's okay

That's how it's always been
I swear the only difference between you and me
Is that I tend to let myself down, and that's okay

I miss the summer nights on your front porch
Cigarette smoke in all of our clothes
We thought we were so cool when we were so young
But you had to grow up, you had to grow
I miss laughing until we couldn't breathe at all

Now I need a life jacket to keep me afloat
I swear the only difference between you and me
Is that I tend to let myself down constantly

Need a life jacket to keep me afloat
I've always been slowly sinking
While you are safely swimming away
Swim away!

Keep me afloat!
Remain calm
Slow down
We're desperately trying to go upstream
But the mountains keep stretching, keep stretching!

Can we rewind?
Can we rewind?
Can we rewind?
Give me a second chance

I need a life jacket
I think I need a life jacket
Because I tend to let myself down
