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

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
