"Drown" lyrics

"Drown"
(feat. Clinton Kane)

I've been tryin' to keep my distance
But in an instant, you break me down
I know better than to want you
But I succumb to
You without a doubt

Now the water is rising
And I'm too tired to swim
And my lungs just can't take it
But I keep breathing you in, so

Tell me lies, tell me painted truths
Anything at all, to keep me close to you
Pull me under, the way you do
Tonight, I wanna drown in an ocean of you

Anything at all, to keep me close to you
Tonight, I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Tonight, I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Tonight, I wanna drown in an ocean of you

I'm so used to your excuses
That when you bruise me, I stick around
No point in trying to make it out now
Rather be sinking, than go without

And now the water is rising
And I'm too tired to swim
And my lungs just can't take it
But I keep breathing you in, so

Tell me lies, tell me painted truths
Anything at all, to keep me close to you
Pull me under, the way you do
Tonight, I wanna drown in an ocean of you

Anything at all, to keep me close to you
Tonight, I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Tonight, I wanna drown in an ocean of you
Tonight, I wanna drown in an ocean of you

Tell me lies, tell me painted truths
Anything at all, to keep me close to you
Pull me under, the way you do
Tonight, I wanna drown in an ocean of you
