Lyrics Låpsley – Drowning

Mother, I’ve been questioning the truth
I’ve been wishing away my youth
Mother, I don’t feel a sense of calm
Living in a constant state of alarm

You said I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water
You said I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water
I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water

So why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning
Ooh, why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning
So why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning
Ooh, why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning

Father, I’ve been running with the wolves
I’ve been tryna keep my cup half full
I tread water
Father, I get lost in my own head
And I remember everything you said
I tread water

You said I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water
You said I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water
I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water

So why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning
Ooh, why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning

So why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning
Ooh, why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning

So why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning (Slipping under surface)
Ooh, why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning 
 (Slipping under waves)
So why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning (Slipping under surface)
Ooh, why am I?
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning (Slipping under waves)
