Treading Water

Alex Clare

Transposer:

My heart just sank the moment I saw you You’re the image of a girl that I used to know Don’t be alarmed if it seems hard for me to explain But every detail of your face makes me recall her name Treading water I keep treading water Maybe it’s another chance to mug myself again Maybe it’s another chance I’m sure I’ll fuck things up in the same way Maybe it’s another chance to mug myself again Can you forgive the things I do that I can’t amend Nor the way I yearn for her I hope you can pretend Girl you’re a fire and you’ll find that I want to get burned No matter what you can teach me I’m sure I’ll never learn Treading water I keep treading water Maybe it’s another chance to mug myself again Maybe it’s another chance I’m sure I’ll fuck things up in the same way Maybe it’s another chance to mug myself again If my concentration seems spread too thin And when you speak my eyes glaze over I’m sorry girl it’s not you it’s her And you’re another chance to mug myself again. Maybe you’re another chance I’m sure I’ll fuck things up in the same way Maybe it’s another chance to mug myself again

La chanson explore la lutte intérieure d'un homme face à des souvenirs d'un amour passé. À la vue d'une nouvelle femme, il est instantanément rappelé à celle qu'il a perdue. Malgré son désir de s'ouvrir à cette nouvelle rencontre, il se sent piégé par ses propres erreurs, craignant à nouveau de blesser autrui comme il l'a fait auparavant. L'idée de ramer, de se débattre dans l'incertitude émotionnelle, est centrale, illustrant son angoisse de répéter les mêmes schémas dans ses relations. Ce combat entre la nostalgie et l'espoir d'une seconde chance est palpable tout au long de la chanson.
