I lost my balance and I fell to the floor. 
A different perspective no less and no more 
Gets harder to get up everytime I go down 
But the struggle to get up is what keeps me around 
Out of all the things I know 
I see that most of it comes slow 
And the things that keep me on the ground 
are what I want around 

So check that water before you go in 
Cause unseen changes might endanger your swim 
Before you know it you're carried away 
And somebody somewhere might need you someday 

Out of all the things I find 
I'll keep the ones that keep my mind 
The things that plant me in the ground 
Are what I want around. 

Here's the way that the deal goes down 
Life's passed out and there's nothing you can do 
about the fools around you but keep your guard up 
remember to breathe 
And I figure it out every now and then 
When I look around at this place I'm in 
Then I let someone pinch me  
So I'll know I'm alive.
