I’m drowning The distance between us is the depth of an ocean And I’m sinking deeper in the darkness I can’t breath You’re like the lighthouse calling me home But for the life of me I can’t pull myself to shore I want you You’re the rope holding me to the dock And I’m clinging to the cord I need you You’re the shining star in my dark sky Something to save me from my darkness You’re drowning There are anchors tied to your limbs Dragging you deeper and deeper You can’t breath You have your own demons I’m struggling to fight them but it’s an army of two *You want me * There’s a sickness in your chest Caving in your ribs until there’s nothing left You need me Their words add more weight to your ankles You can’t find the air or the light We’re drowning But maybe together we can learn to swim

Drowning
I’m drowning The distance between us is the depth of an ocean And I’m sinking deeper in the darkness I can’t breath You’re like the lighthouse calling me home But for the life of me I can’t pull myself to shore I want you You’re the rope holding me to the dock And I’m clinging to the cord I need you You’re the shining star in my dark sky Something to save me from my darkness You’re drowning There are anchors tied to your limbs Dragging you deeper and deeper You can’t breath You have your own demons I’m struggling to fight them but it’s an army of two *You want me * There’s a sickness in your chest Caving in your ribs until there’s nothing left You need me Their words add more weight to your ankles You can’t find the air or the light We’re drowning But maybe together we can learn to swim
