Sixth official track of the album.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
This'll probably be the worst love letter written
I hear this beat and then I think of you and so I'm sittin'
looking at your picture while its playing, so damn smitten
Now I'm sick of wishin', I should step, step, step up
But you don't even know me, wish I could get to know you
But you're friends with people I don't trust
One of which in high school I had a crush
So if I talk to you and you ask her 'bout me, she'll have nothing good to say about us
I'm mostly speaking out of lust
Haven't even met you or felt your touch
I've only seen your face but that there's enough to give me a rush
And you like a lot of stuff, I like some of the same
You'd think that'd be enough for me to step, step, step up
But truthfully, we have what? like a handful in common?
And we're both probably busy, so I worry about timing
In fact, I've talked myself out of it
They say there's plenty fish in the sea and you make me want to jump out of it
But I'm guessing that I

[Chorus]
Don't have a choice but to keep swimming (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't have a choice but to keep swimming (Oh-oh)
Don't have a choice but to keep swimming (Yeah I do it cause I)
Don't have a choice but to keep swimming

[Verse 2]
As much as I'd just like to go for it, the odds are stacked against me
I know if you ever get to hear this within this century
You'll just think its creepy, a guy you don't know who doesn't even know you
Writing songs about you must be disturbed deeply
Completely out of my mind, not necessarily true
I just camp in my subconscious, which people rarely do
Fueled by the thought of just making myself a "Gary Sue"
Long story short, that means everything works out between me and you
Most girls take this time to criticise what I say and do
But I'm only good at two things: Writing novels and staying true
Music's not a talent for me, its more like I'm paying due
I had you on my mind to write this for at least a day or two
Probably longer, you're the model to the canvas I'm painting on
(Q, what are you waiting on? Just do it, man)
No I'm still doubting it
They say there's plenty fish in the sea, I feel like I want to jump out of it
But its seeming like I

[Chorus]
Don't have a choice but to keep swimming (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't have a choice but to keep swimming (Oh-oh)
Don't have a choice but to keep swimming (Yeah I do it cause I)
Don't have a choice but to keep swimming

[Verse 3]
Pressure is enormous cause you are simply gorgeous
And I'm just kind of scared that my pursuit will end rewardless
At war with emotions that are swimming inside me
I know that once it happens there will be no rewinding
But I'm not gonna sweat it, yeah I might just be embarassed
But its these moments I cherish that make me a better man
I'll just do what I can, I've got a Carpe Diem attitude
And no one will be mad at you if you say that you can't
But I'll make it worth your while if you just let the doors open
Climb out of the water tank, come join me inside the ocean
I'm a Goldfish, I'm proud of it
They say there's plenty fish in the sea but I'm never gonna jump out of it
Cause you make it so I

[Chorus]
Don't have a choice but to keep swimming (X4)
