Sinking And Swimming On Long Island - Bayside

This place is dragging me down

A hamster wheel, I thought I’d be done by now

Now that all my allies are gone

I realize advancing can hold you back

My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside

But it’s high tide and they get washed away with time

Until everything’s gone, until everything’s gone

All’s fine along the Long Island sound

But fine’s polite I’d rather things more profound

I’ve become a rock these days and I swim like one

Alone again, barely surviving the tidal wave

My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside

But it’s high tide and they get washed away with time

Until everything’s gone, until everything’s gone

I swear, damn it all to hell, damn it all to hell

I think I finally found the way to go to heaven

Without dying, so I’m on my way

The harder you work, the harder you fall

You wake up one day with nothing at all

My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside

But it’s high tide and they get washed away with time

Until everything’s gone, until everything’s gone

Until everything’s gone, until everything’s gone

I swear, damn it all to hell
