Pull Me Out

Tell me now, when does this start feeling
Like I understand everything I'm dealing with
First I was young, now it's all just happening.
And what about the way I said that
Made you turn around and shake your head
Like I don't even know what I'm asking for.

Remember when I was young and hungry,
I could take it in without much money,
I had nothing at all but dreams and time to kill.
And now I feel like I'm treading water,
And I'm hardly real--I'm just trying harder
To make my way on the earth by standing still.

I can't get my feet off of the ground.
I wanna run, but I don't know how.
Can you reach down here and pull me out?
Can you pull me out? Yeah,
I wanna scream, but there's no sound.
I wanna fly to you somehow.
Can you reach down here and pull me out?
Can you pull me out?

Not a moment too soon you will be my rescue.
But tell me how long will it take?
