lyrics

can you feel it?
yea... that's called desperate.

you thought you had it - didn't you
but the only time you're under control
is when there's no control at all

keep fighting it, go ahead
make your plans and sell your bed
at least the spot where I laid
where I laid

cause this desperate feeling has taken my sleep
taken my breath
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
step back, step back
you're moving in too close
well trust me trust me you said
right before you just let me go
but you were my anchor
and now you're drowning me
I feel capsized, left lost to the sea
I'll cut this rope, man overboard
I'm safe to sink with the sea
without you
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
why oh why do I just have to see it now?
and who was the fool who said
that only time will tell
now tell me how many mistakes does it take
to drown me

I knew it all along,
your words were too sweet, too strong
I couldn't make a sound
cause' your words carried the weight of the world
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
What part did I not understand?
when you said you're with me until the end

the seas cry;
"come all weary, all sinking, all fearing,
all undeserving, I'll drown you in love"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
step back, step back
you're moving in too close
well trust me trust me you said
right before you just let me go
but you were my anchor
and now you're drowning me
I feel capsized, left lost to the sea
I'll cut this rope, man overboard
I'm safe to sink with the sea
