Whenever I tell myself
'Whatever it takes to come through'
Whenever I fool myself
'Someday I will start over new'
However it seems complete
Search for it in every way
However I feel defeat
Push my luck to make it someday
I got to let it show, I can't let it go
It's like swimming upstream
You got to keep the pressure on
Swimming upstream
Like swimming upstream
You wonder why it's takin' so long
And if it's worth the fight you put on
'Cause if you let it go
You're just where you started from
Forever will be the day
When perfect is just good enough
Whenever I'll find the time
A way to take the pressure off
I got to let it show, I can't let it go
It's like swimming upstream
You got to keep the pressure on
Swimming upstream
Like swimming upstream
You wonder why it's takin' so long
And if it's worth the fight you put on
'Cause if you let it go
You're just where you started from
