On most, on those days, on bad days
 D#                                      A#
I got no peace of mind, got no peace of mind
The only hold in me is a hand and head
on both sides

On those days, on bad days, on those
G#
On those days, on bad days

  A#        Cm                G#
I feel like I've been lost forever
        A#        Cm                G#
Yeah, I feel like I've been lost at sea
     A#         Cm    G#
And don't you try to find me
            A#       Cm        G#

And I don't wanna live forever in the sea

And I don't wanna go 'cause I think I might
just be
    G#           A#           Cm
The only person living in the sea

I get stressed sometimes, I'm a mess sometimes
Tryna sleep, but I'm awake straight most nights
On those days, on those days
On most, on those days, on bad days
I try to close my eyes, but I can feel those tides
Making sure I'm going, scrolling up tight now
On those days, on those days
On those, on those days, on bad days

I feel like I've been lost forever
Yeah, I feel like I've been lost at sea
And don't you try to find me
'Cause the tide has pulled me deep

Chorus:
And I don't wanna live forever in the sea
The tide keeps pulling me away from who
I used to be
And I don't wanna go 'cause I think
I might just be
The only person living in the sea

         Cm
They say I don't, I don't see the world like I
A#
But I keep holding, holding on
       Cm                     A#
'Cause I am never happy with enough
Until I'm drowning from it all
             Cm
And they say I don't, I don't see the world like I
A#
But I keep holding, holding on
       Cm                     A#
'Cause I am never happy with enough
Until I'm drowning from it all

Chorus:
And I don't wanna live forever in the sea
The tide keeps pulling me away from who
I used to be (Used, oh)
And I don't wanna go 'cause I think
I might just be
The only person living in the sea, oh
The only person living in the sea, mmm
The only person living in the sea
