I Drown (Lyrics)

(In piano notes, played one at a time

A, G#, F#...E, C#, B

x4)

 

There's an ocean in my dreams

That always threatens to drag me down

You are standing on the bank

But you just stare and make no sound

 

(Intro 6 notes x2)

 

I wish I'd be next to you

But I don't know what to do

As the ocean keeps on dragging me down

Your eyes are cold and gray

Almost seeming to say

I wouldn't care, wouldn't care if you drown

 

(4-note instrumental, hush) 

 

I've been drowning for years,

But then you took all my fears,

Thought you were saving me...

But I was wrong.

 

(Intro 6 notes x2) 

 

There's an ocean in my dreams

And I don't even know how to swim

I'm trying to stay alive, but I know

The only thing that keeps me going is Him

 

(Intro 6 notes x2)

 

I wish that I could be saved

Right now I don't feel so brave

While the ocean keeps on dragging me down

I scream, and I'm crying

I know that I'm dying

And I slip below the surface to drown

 

(4-note instrumental, hush)

 

I've been drowning for years,

But then you took all my fears,

Thought you were saving me...

But I was wrong.

But I was wrong....

 

(Instrumental) 

 

(Interlude, much faster-paced

Sudden hush at the next vocal part)

 

I've been drowning for years

In my useless tears

While my heart just keeps on dragging me down

There's no point loving a boy

If to him you're a toy

But even so.......

My last thoughts are of you

As I drown

 

(Intro 6 notes x6+, fade out)
