Surface Envy Lyrics

Throw me a rope, give me a leg
I haven't seen daylight in what must be day
I took the long way down, lost track of myself
Confidence fell down the steepest of slopes
I'll row you an ocean, I could do more
I feel so much stronger, now that you're here
We've got so much to do, let me make that clear

We win, we lose, only together do we break the rules
We win, we lose, only together do we make the rules

I'm breaking the surface, tasting the air
I'm reaching for things like never before
The anchor is heavy, I can't hold the weight
The guilt holds me down, won't let me be myself
Suck it all in, suck it all up
Let go of thoughts holding me back
I'll push twice as hard towards it you see
And the past falls away to the bottom of the deep

When we leave say goodbye to your old way of life
I can breathe way up high now it's our turn to fly

Surface Envy Song Chart

This is a track from No Cities to Love, Sleater-Kinney's first album after a decade long hiatus. Corin Tucker wrote the song to capture the struggle and triumph of reviving the band. She explained to NME: "That is definitely written with the idea of the moment when we were talking about being a band again. And what an incredible opportunity and a giant challenge that is to me - being a mom and trying to have this really intense career."
