Drown - Dependence

I remember the places and I remember the feelings we had there

I remember the touch of the breeze

And the way that it licked your hair

And I can still see the shoreline swallow the sun from behind these lines

And I can still breathe release when I drown inside your eyes

I still can’t believe that you can cling

This tight to a heart that looks like mine

I remember when I had given up trying

Yeah I was just so sick of lying to myself

Because nothing seems as beautiful anymore

And I guess I have your promises to blame

And I never wanted to change your heart

I just wanted to change your last name.

Because I remember letting go of my

pride and letting you take its place

And I remember when the sun stopped shining and now I feel the rain

Because I saw beauty in a storm right before it ripped through my front door.

The water destroyed everything I love

Things that could never love me back

And as I watched them fade away

I didn’t care, because you were the thing that I lacked

And my love could not cover what you needed

But at least I could remember moments

Where I was what you believed in

And I made enough mistakes to learn that that mattered

Hope was the former and love was the latter of life cycles

And trying to find your passion again.

Whether or not you find this useful

I hope you find it sound, because even if there’s no use

I hope some day you can find your way coming back around

Because even when I’m drowning, (even if i’m drowning)

I don’t feel like I’m sinking

Because the water in my lungs feels like so much less than

So much less than when you kept me warm (you kept me warm)

You kept me warm with the promise that tomorrow

Won’t come so soon (Just don’t let tomorrow,)

Don’t let tomorrow come so soon

(Just don’t let tomorrow come so soon), Because today I love you
