Bayside - Sinking And Swimming On Long Island lyrics

This place is dragging me down
A hamster wheel, I thought I'd be done by now
Now that all my allies are gone
I realize advancing could hold you back

My good intentions just keep
Sliding by the wayside
But it's high tide and they
Get washed away with time
Till everything's gone
Till everything's gone

All's fine along the Long Island Sound
But fine's polite I'd rather
Things more profound
I've become a rock these days
And I swim like one
Alone again, barely surviving the tidal wave

My good intentions just keep
Sliding by the wayside
But it's high tide and they
Get washed away with time
Till everything's gone
Till everything's gone

I swear, damn it all to hell
Damn it all to hell

I think I finally found the
Way to go to heaven
Without dying, so I'm on my way
The harder you work, the harder you fall
You wake up one day with nothing at all

My good intentions just keep
Sliding by the wayside
But it's high tide and they
Get washed away with time
Till everything's gone
Till everything's gone
Till everything's gone
Till everything's gone
I swear, damn it all to hell
