[Verse]

When the water's rushing up your neck

And the ground leaves your feet

Look around and see what you've got left

Did you get free?

I'm giving all of it without regret

'cause what's the worst it could be?

In need of more than just the check-to-check

To get free

[Chorus]

Not trying to get by (trying to get by)

I'm trying to get free (trying to get free)

Not trying to get by (trying to get by)

I'm trying to get free (trying to get free)

I'm trying to get free

I'm trying to get free

I'm trying to get by, get by, get by

I'm trying to get free

Not trying to get by (trying to get by)

I'm trying to get free (trying to get free)

Not trying to get by (trying to get by)

I'm trying to get free (trying to get free)

Not trying to get by, get by, no, no, no (trying to get by)

I'm trying to get free (trying to get free)

Not trying to get by (trying to get by)

I'm trying to get free (trying to get free)
