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
