It's hard to change direction
When your mind's snowed in tonight
And it's harder still to fight the reasons why
When you're tired of building bridges
And turning back the clock
Your body says its not even going to try
So you're stuck there treading water
Swimming against the tide
But oh my lord you still feel so alive
The first break was for freedom
To dance among the stars
And let the strains of life exit the stage
But truth and friends and laughter
Climb crawling into view
And you know for sure you just can't turn the page
So you're stuck there treading water
Swimming against the tide
But oh my lord you still feel so alive
When you just can't shake the remnants
Of a night spent in the bar
Telling all you mates you love them once again
Grab every ounce of laughter
And catch every tear that falls
When you're so alive you just can't feel the pain
So you're stuck there treading water
Swimming against the tide
But oh my lord you still feel so alive
