Drowning (...Again)

[Verse 1] Oh, tell me, when did it start? That's when it all comes apart You tell me I'm obsessed and all that I got left Is knotty pine in your heart [Verse 2] It's getting harder to leave You'd have me crawl on my knees I see you winterized behind ashen eyes And left our love on the breeze To blow through the trees [Chorus] I'll throw up my hands and I pray for the rain And I can't remember callin' your name And I thought I'd bury you under the pain But you push me halfway down and I'm drownin' again I'm drownin' again [Verse 3] I needed somethin' familiar Somethin' to cool down my mind Like a window down, oh, in my hometown Somethin' simple and fine [Verse 4] But still you offer your hand Lead me down river bends You say it's safe to cross, but when I'm feelin' lost Well, you're gone once again Slip through my hands [Chorus] I'll throw up my hands and I pray for the rain And I can't remember callin' your name And I thought I'd bury you under the pain But you push me halfway down and I'm drownin' again I'm drownin' again [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Stand still now, thumb raised to the sky Don't drag me, I'll carry on with time Been livin' on amphetamine lies 'Til she pulls me under rising tides [Chorus] I'll throw up my hands and I pray for the rain And I can't remember callin' your name And I thought I buried you under the pain But you rose again when I drowned in the stream And I'm swept away on that last train leavin' As that east wind pulls back on my brain And I know I buried you deeper than sin But your name comes up, old friend, and we're drownin' again I'm drownin' again
