Afloat – The Gospel Youth

I remember what it felt like to be saved
From all the hang-ups that I had when I was 16 years of age
10 years on and I still haven’t found my place
To call my own, in bliss, something I’ll never replace

But I’ve never felt any comfort in my skin
I’ve been breaking all of my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city’s what I fear the most
I just don’t know where to begin
I just don’t know where to begin

I never said enough when it mattered most
This feline’s got a hold on, onto my tongue
Her claws are buried deep, and so far I’m paralysed
Lose or win, sink or swim, just keep me afloat

But I’ve never felt any comfort in my skin
I’ve been breaking all of my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city’s what I fear the most
I just don’t know where to begin
I just don’t know where to begin

I’m a shell of who I once was
Letting down the ones I love
I’m hiding from and never talking to strangers
I know that we’ve all been hurt before
And the pain, it never heals
We pick ourselves up off the floor
And tell ourselves that we’ll never do this again

But I’ve never felt any comfort in my skin
I’ve been breaking all of my bones just to fit in
Breathing in the sea, the air, the coast
The city’s what I fear the most
I just don’t know where to begin
I just don’t know where to begin
