Drown

I remember the places and I remember the feelings we had there

I remember the touch of the breeze, and the way that it licked your hair

And I can still see the shoreline swallow the sun from behind these lines

And I can still breathe release when I drown inside your eyes

I still can't believe that you can cling this tight to a heart that looks like mine

I remember when I had given up trying, I was just so sick of lying to myself

Because nothing seems as beautiful anymore and I guess I have your promises to blame

And I never wanted to change your heart, I just wanted to change your last name

Because I remember letting go of my pride and letting you take its place

And I remember when the sun stopped shining and now I feel the rain

Because I saw beauty in a storm right before it ripped through my front door

The water destroyed everything I love, things that could never love me back

And as I watched them fade away I didn't care, because you were the thing that I lacked

And my love could not cover what you needed

But at least I could remember moments where I was what you believed in

And I made enough mistakes to learn that that mattered

Hope was the former and love was the latter of life cycles and trying to find your passion again

Whether or not you find this useful, I hope you find it sound

Because even if there's no use, I hope some day you can find your way coming back around

Because even when I'm drowning, I don't feel like I'm sinking

Because the water in my lungs feels like so much less than

So much less than when you kept me warm, you kept me warm

You kept me warm with the promise that tomorrow won't come so soon

Just don't let tomorrow, don't let tomorrow come so soon

Just don't let tomorrow come so soon, because today I love you
