"Drowning" lyrics

"Drowning"

Am I drowning you out in boasts of defection?
If everything was up to me
I would be gone by the first line
The first sign of hope I'd be packed up and out of my way

And time has been spread so thin
And it's just hours 'til the day begins
And the things that are keeping you here are not keeping me here
The things that are keeping you here will keep me away
And "you'll be sorry" isn't that what they'll say?
Don't follow your heart 'cause it just seems to get in your way
And don't ever leave here and mope at your leisure
And straighten out your crease dear and truth is in a tall beer

Are you drowning your fears in a glass of deception?
When everything is hazy, then everything will be OK
When everything is hazy, then you won't be sad that you stayed

And time has been spread so thin
And it's just hours 'til the day begins
And the things that are keeping you here are not keeping me here
The things that are keeping you here will keep me away
And "you'll be sorry" isn't that what they'll say?
Don't follow your heart 'cause it just seems to get in your way
And don't ever leave here and mope at your leisure
And straighten out your crease dear and truth is in a tall beer

That's the end
That's the end
That's the end
