[Verse 1]

C F

Tell me how it is

We're one step closer

We're moving slower

On the right tracks

[Verse 2]

Tell me how it is

We're moving forward

We've been so tortured

By all of this

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh like an island, we're surrounded by a deep blue sea

You're the waves that push and pull against me

You wash me away, bit by bit

F Dm

I will slowly erode 'til there's nothing left

[Chorus]

Am C Em F

If you want me like that, that's who I'll be

Am C Em F

If you love me right back, I could be anything

It's like this and like that

I think I'm starting to crack

Then you'll leave and come back

The odds are starting to stack

Am C

Against me

Against me
