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

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
