Scoop Me Up

The water is so wide
can't swim, and I could never fly
not too good with my hands
can't say I ever really tried
woke up in the sun
buried in the sand
you wanna pick me up
but I don't think you can
don't think you can
I'm careful on my feet
my balance never was so good
I never really ever thought I'd
make it somewhere on my own
woke up in the sun
buried in the sand
you wanna pick me up
but I don't think you can
come on down and try to scoop me up
I'm sinking further now
but soon I'll come back up for air
I never really ever thought I'd
make it somewhere on my own
woke up in the sun
buried in the sand
you wanna pick me up
but I don't think you can
come on down and try to scoop me up
but you won't

Tell me again how much you gave up
Tell me again how it aches
And is it all right?
You can feed your mysterious need
To poison everything
To the last bite.
You said “I never felt like this was me”
But after so long, what else could you be?
It’s said there’s gonna be a line drawn at the bottom of your life.
And you can add it up.
I don’t know how much more I can take
Of what you understand to be wisdom.
It’s not wisdom.
You said “I never felt like this was me”
But after 30 years, what else could you be?
You know there’s gonna be a line drawn at the bottom of your life.
And you can add it up.
You can add it up.
And see it fall short
And you fell short, you fell short again.
You fell short again.
I wish I knew who told you life was pain.
I wish I could’ve shut his mouth for him.
You made yourself a cruel mathematics of your life.
Now you can add it up.
