Before I Drown

My head is swimming
The room is spinning
Where, where, where, where
Where, where are you now

Breathe in and breathe out, I
Forget how, forget how
Been drinking and sinking
No lifeboat to hold onto now

CHORUS:
Please lift me up
Onto solid ground
Throw me a rope
Before I drown, before I drown

I’m running, not moving
I’m screaming without a sound
Hands shaking, ropes breaking
Falling down, and down, and down, and down

REPEAT CHORUS

My lungs can’t hold much more of this air
I’m starting to lose the will to try
I need you to be my strength and my sight
Just hold me through the night
Just hold me through the night
Just hold me through the night

REPEAT CHORUS
