I have this sinking feeling Something's weighing me down I am completely saturated The waves are crashing closer My feet already drowned Doing the thing I said I hated They've been swimming in the wrong water Now they're pulling me down But I am clinging to you, never letting go 'cause I know that you'll lift me out [Chorus] Have your way here Keep me afloat 'cause I know I'll sink without you Take this ocean of pain that is mine Throw me a lifeline Wake up feeling convicted I know something's not right Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet I have to get this out 'cause it's obstructing you and I Dry up the seas that keep us parted 'cause they've been swimming in the wrong waters And now they're pulling me down But I am clinging to you, never letting go 'cause I know that you are gonna pull me out [Chorus] They've been swimming in the wrong waters And now they're pulling me down But I am clinging to you, never letting go 'cause I know, 'cause I know [Chorus]
