Michael Webster - Waterlines

Copied!edit Lyrics

I was fallin’ beneath the water line
Trying to get away from the people on the promenade
Then the moon rose up and it brought out the tide
The water left me, without even sayin’ goodbye

So I retreated from the water and took the bus upstream
And while I was waiting, I got lost in a reoccurring dream
Disappointment invokes when the buses arrive
Cause it’s a sign, that you gotta carry on with your life

I wanna stay in but I wanna go out
Just anothеr dilemma of the ninetiеs’ crowd
I don’t wanna go out but I don’t wanna stay in
Come on, tell me where to even begin

I think I’ve found the reason I can't sleep at night
Tv show addiction will be my demise
And there’s a thousand different places I ain’t ever seen
Sometimes I’d rather see them on a television screen

I wanna stay in but I wanna go out
Just another dilemma of the nineties’ crowd
I don’t wanna go out but I don’t wanna stay in
Come on, tell me where to even begin

The mention of TV show addiction and the desire to explore new places but settling for watching them on a screen adds layers to the song's message about the complexities of modern living.
