Lyrics
Treading Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The rain came down in buckets
Submerging good and bad alike
Waist-deep in water, you start grabbing at things
That you think wont drift or sink down in the flood
Did I drag you down
When my flesh and bone turned into stone
Unable to stand now
Even though the tide has turned away
A weight insists on keeping me under
It's calm and it's quiet, after
But now your no where to be found
The greatest tragedy to come from all of this
Now we know
Sometimes you're better off alone
Did I drag you down
When my flesh and bone turned into stone
Unable to stand now
Even though tide has turned away
A weight insists on keeping me under
Unable to breathe now
Cause I know I pushed you away
When you were just trying to keep me from drowning
I know we practiced treading water,
But this time I took you way to deep
It looked a mile to the bottom
And your feet just couldn't reach,
Your feet just couldn't reach
Unable to stand now
Even though the tide has turned away
A weight insists on keeping me under
Unable to breathe now cause I know I pushed you away
You were just trying keep me from drowning
