As I sit besides the river,
I pray you throw me in
Throw me right in
I promise I'll float
Push me down
Tie a rock to my feet
I promise I'll float
Deep down
Deeper down
I promise I'll float
Losing breath
Losing stance
But I'll float
I promise
I will float

But if I don't float
I'll sit at the bottom
Staring at dirt
Anything better than up there
I'll open up all I have hidden
Nobody will judge me
Nobody will know

So throw me in the river
Do not hesitate
Do not think twice
I promise I'll float
Float..
Anywhere but here
