sometimes i find myself stuck in the middle with nowhere to turn
so i pull it in and tell myself it all works out
but then again no one helps when things go wrong
so i saved myself saved myself i learned how to swim

sometimes you find yourself stuck in the crowd with nowhere to turn
so you go against what everybody feels but feelings burn
then you´ll see that no one person rules the world
you tell yourself that everybody learns how to swim
with it don´t fight the tide, don´t fight the tide
just swim with it but first...

you put your feet on the ground
i can´t pick you up every time you´re falling down
no i´m not your mother or your father
you put your feet on the ground
i can´t pick you up every time you´re falling down
no i can´t go any further but i know

it´s hard to do the right thing in the right place
when you want to do something else in their face
do what i do don´t turn your back and walk away no
do what i do and learn how to swim

with it don´t fight the tide, don´t fight the tide
just swim with it but first...
you put your feet on the ground
i can´t pick you up every time you´re falling down
no i´m not your mother or your father
you put your feet on the ground
i can´t pick you up every time you´re falling down
no i can´t go any further no no

just learn how to swim
with it don´t fight the tide, don´t fight the tide
just swim with it but first...

you put your feet on the ground
i can´t pick you up every time you´re falling down
no i´m not your mother or your father
you put your feet on the ground
i can´t pick you up every time you´re falling down
no i can´t go any further
put your feet on the ground
won´t you put your feet on the ground, no i can´t pick you up
everytime you´re falling down
put your feet on the ground
and learn how to swim
with it don´t fight the tide, don´t fight the tide
just swim...
