What It Feels Like To Drown

lyrics

sometimes you can be drowned in a moment.
that is what this song is about.

---

we were caught in the pouring rain
and you asked me if i'd mind
if we could retreat to a secret place
buried in the dust of time

your took me to the water's edge
our feet were bare; our hands bound
we waded till the current swept
away the thoughts of our old town

the trees hung low along the river banks
forgotten kings with tarnished crowns
they gazed as if they knew our names
and told us stories as the sun went down

by moonlight some ghosts did rise
like memories from our childhood
with them we bottled fireflies
lanterns for when we venture to darker woods

we leaned back into the summer breeze
just as the rain came pouring down
arms Spread; water hit her face
this is what is feels like to drown

at that moment she took my hand
and said surrender to the stars now
cause your nothing but dust my love
this is what feels like to drown
