Is it just me?

I lie afloat in shallow water.
I'm thinking to myself, is it just me?
Or is there an alligator in the water
That's biting off my head each time I speak?
I feel so uneasy
I'm not entirely sure what all this is for
If you take it all, I'm never gonna get it back
Don't take it from me.
You're never gonna give it back
My patience is gone and I'm never gonna get it back
Oh, please give it back to me
I wish I was the alligator
I wish I was that strong, but it can't see
So what is it waiting for?
Could I be any more tired and weak?
I wish this was easy
I'm not entirely sure what you're waiting for
If this isn't my song and story
What would it be?
Tonight is all I have and all I need
My song and story, it's all I need
Man, I wish this was easy
Take it easy
If you take it all, I'm never gonna get it back
Don't take it from me
You're never gonna give it back
My patience is gone and I'm never gonna get it back
I'll never get it back
Man, I wish this was easy
