Wings
Mac Miller - Swimming Lyrics

I got a bone to pick like roses (roses)
I have an issue to address, like the thorns of a rose bush.

I ain't feelin' broken no more
I am no longer feeling emotionally damaged.

Balled a fist, they gossipin', I notice
I clenched my fist when I noticed that people were talking behind my back.

Talkin' shit, I wander through the motives
I think about the reasons behind people's negative comments.

Wonder who the fuck I'm supposed to be
I ponder my true identity.

I ain't worried now 'til I leave
I am not concerned until I depart.

I'm just tryna ride and feel the breeze
I'm just trying to enjoy life and the freedom it brings.

With somethin' bad beside next to me
With something that has a negative reputation beside me.

Wind in my face
I feel the wind brushing against my face.

Don't stop now when it feels so great
I don't want to stop now when it feels so good.

You can run 'til you slip on the sidewalk
You can keep going until you eventually fall.

And the same bone you pick gon' break
The same issue you keep addressing will eventually break you.

That's a motif (that's a motif)
That's a recurring theme or subject.

Yeah, when it's comin' right back
Yeah, when it's inevitably returning.

So familiar, never been realer
It's so recognizable and authentic.

Never felt so damn good where I'm at
I've never felt so content with where I currently am.

I don't know what it's all about
I don't fully understand what all of this is for.

Runnin' through the many thoughts to count (that's way better)
Running through my thoughts that are too numerous to count (this way is better).

Still ain't addin' up, I'll let you know that I've had enough, yeah
It still doesn't make sense to me, and I'm letting you know that I'm done with it.

I'd put some money on forever, but I (hey)
I would bet that something will last forever, but...

Don't like to gamble on the weather, so I just watch while
I don't like to take risks on unpredictable things, so I just observe while...

The sun is shinin', I can look at the horizon
While the sun is shining, I can look at the horizon.

The walls keep gettin' wider, I just hope I never find 'em, I know
The limitations keep appearing to grow, and I hope I never reach them, though I'm aware of them.

Movin' so fast, the clock look slow (slow)
Moving so quickly that time appears to slow down.

Water my seeds 'til the flower just grow, yeah
Nurture my potential until it blossoms into something great.

Love so much that my heart get broke
I love so deeply that I often get hurt emotionally.

I don't really know how the normal shit go, so
I don't quite know how things typically go, so...

I guess I just play it by ear, silence is all that I hear
I suppose I'll just wing it, but all I hear is silence.

Listenin' close as I can
I'm listening as intently as possible.

Growin' up (one, two, three) jump
Maturing and growing (like a child counting and jumping).

Nobody holdin' my hand, no
Nobody guiding me or leading the way.

Trust is a problem, never knew how, yeah
I struggle with trusting others, I don't really know how to do it.

That's why I just keep to myself
That's why I prefer to be alone and self-sufficient.

Get what I need, then I'll be out (please tell me)
Get what I require, then I'll be on my way (I hope that's clear).

Who can the surf the universe with me?
Who can explore the universe with me?

Lucifer is human, so are we
Lucifer is a mortal, just like us.

All I ever want is what I need
All I really want is what's essential for me.

And that don't include your time and company
And that does not involve your presence or companionship.

Follow me, we on the up and up
Come with me, we're making progress and improving.

Remember when I owed a hundred bucks
Remember when I was in debt for a hundred dollars.

Now, I look around like, "What the fuck?"
Now, I look around in disbelief and shock.

If you don't fuck with me, you fuckin' up
If you're not supporting me, you're making a mistake.

I know I need to watch my temper, so I
I know I should control my anger, so...

Don't ever gamble on the weather but I just watch while the
I don't like to take risks on unpredictable things, but I just observe while the...

The sun is shinin', I can look at the horizon
The sun is shining, and I can see the horizon.

The walls keep gettin' wider, I just hope I never find 'em, no, no
The limitations keep appearing to expand, and I hope to never reach them, no, no.

These are my wings
These are symbols of my freedom and ability to fly.

These are my wings, yeah
These are symbols of my freedom and ability to fly.

These are my wings
These are symbols of my freedom and ability to fly.
