"I Ain't Sinkin' Yet" lyrics

"I Ain't Sinkin' Yet"

This room is an ocean, I've been tossed in and I'm lost
If you look through, through the window, you'd see I'm barely holding on
Oh the compass spins round, I'm not sure that I'll ever be found
Oh I lost track of time, when you left me I thought I would drown
But I ain't sinkin' yet

Oh as long as I've got a little wind in my sails
As long as I've got a little hope left to help me
As long as I feel this thing beating down in my chest
I ain't sinkin' yet

Breathe in, and breathe out, it's all I remember how to do,
And minutes turn to hours and one more day I've gotten through
What doesn't kill you just hurts till you're better, I guess
And the weight of your words still hanging like chains round my neck
But I ain't sinkin' yet

Oh as long as I've got a little wind in my sails
As long as I've got a little hope left to help me
As long as I feel this thing beating down in my chest
And the more that I wish you were here, the deeper it gets
But I'll keep my head up with the last bit of strength I have left
I ain't sinkin' yet

The more that I wish you were here, the deeper it gets
But I'll keep my head up with the last bit of strength I have left

As long as I've got a little wind in my sails
As long as I've got a little hope left to help me
As long I feel this compass spin round
As long as I feel this thing beating down in my chest
No I ain't sinkin' yet
No I ain't sinkin' yet
