lyrics

It's always hitting me in waves
Evaporates then clouds my skies
Then falls back down on me as rain
Every drop seeps through to my brain
Dampens my mood with thoughts of you
I'm tired of putting myself in this pain

Thinking of you is like falling in the ocean
Cause every time i get back up its like
I'm hit by a wave and pulled down by the riptide
Thinking of you is like falling in the ocean
Cause every time i get back up its like
I'm hit by a wave and pulled down by the riptide

Now I can't swim
Yeah I'm drowning
In your sea

My blood runs cold
When I think of you again
The undertow
Of your memory always sweeps me in
It's like I'm being pulled far down
This ocean's depths just have no bounds
I feel all air leaving me now
Open my mouth
Scream, but don't make a sound
The water's filling up my lungs
My brain fills with the things you said
Tomorrow's papers will all head:
"Body washed up dead of the east end"

Thinking of you is like falling in the ocean
Cause every time i get back up its like
I'm hit by a wave and pulled down by the riptide
Thinking of you is like falling in the ocean
Cause every time i get back up its like
I'm hit by a wave and pulled down by the riptide

Now I can't swim
Yeah I'm drowning
In your sea
