as i drown

lyrics:Kleven music:Kleven/Halvorsen

You saw
My attention hit the ground floor
You feared
I was well prepared and not scared
to look out

You tried
I was watching from the outside
You fought
I was leaving you the last short straw
goodbye

But now the tables are turned
the bridges are burned
I don't know how to cross the ocean
All I need is a sound
My engine is down
and maybe you can slow the motion
as I drown

You flew
without knowing where to fly to
You found
your own treetop
with a great ground level view

You signed
all derision to the front line
You mend
all your scratches
in a condescending style

But now the tables are turned
the bridges are burned
I don't know how to cross the ocean
All I need is a sound
My engine is down
and maybe you can slow the motion
as I drown
