Verse 1
The river's running
fast right now
It's the time of year
the water cleanses itself
Running wild but
always in control
And now's the time
to sever the ties
To habits that weaken
disguised by tradition
Refrain
Drain away this fear
Until it disappears
Yeah!
Chorus
I'm not ready to swim
I'm not going to sink
I just want to
float through the sea
Are you pulling me down?
Are you holding me up?
Or are you slowly drowning me?
Verse 2
Sing:
There's something
to be said for luck it's
better than being good
When half of being good
is being lucky anyways
We're spreading out
Growl:
We're spreading out
Sing:
we're harder to hit
Growl::
we're harder to hit
Sing:
Become a moving target
Drop your burden
And abandon it
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
you slowly drowning me
Interlude
F#--C#--Fm--Bbm-G# x2, Palm muted
Bridge
I remember a day when I could
walk right down the street
And feel so confident
and know everything's okay
Take my hand don't let go but
please remember hearts can grow
We still have to take it slow
I love with caution and trust alone
Riff
(Repeat Chorus twice)
Outro
you slowly drowning me
