Dashboard Confessional - Drowning EP lyrics
Drowning
And we're drowning you out
in boasts of defection
if everything was up to me I would be gone by the first sign
the first sign of hope I'd be packed up and out of my way.
And time has been spread so thin
and it's just hours till the day begins.
And the things that are keeping you here are not keeping me here (at all)
and the things that are keeping you here will keep me away.
And you'll be sorry
isn't that what they'll say.
Don't follow your heart cause it just seems to get in your way.
And don't ever leave here
and mope at your leisure
and straighten out your crease, dear
and truth is in a tall beer.
Are you drowning your fears
in a glass of deception?
When everything is easy then everything will be ok .
When everything is easy then you won't be sad that you stayed.
And time has been spread so thin
and its just hours till the day begins.
And the things that are keeping you here are not keeping me here (at all)
and the things that are keeping you here will keep me away.
And you'll be sorry
isn't that what they'll say.
Don't follow your heart cause it just seems to get in your way.
And don't ever leave here
and mope at your leisure
and straighten out your crease here
and truth is in a tall beer.
Anyone, Anyone
I'm not sure of anyone (anyone)
But I've got plans
I'm not asking for everything
But sure I could use a hand
Get a little anxious sometimes
You'll be gone and I'll be left behind
Get a little nervous sometimes
It'll be my cue and I'll forget my lines
Get a little lost look and some staring from the corner of my eye
Never really mastered disinterest
I can't see how the way that you leave me alone makes us close
I must be out of touch
I won't ask you to give up on the things that seem to keep you gone
But I can be gone too
Feel a little sorry sometimes
You're not here when I am writing
Feels a little awkward sometimes
You won't talk but we're not fighting
You hold on to your secrets and I'm not privy to what is on your mind
And I can't help but feel tired
so tired so tired so tired
For Justin
It's been a year now since you were here now And
I've been trying to heal inside Dedications have all
been placed And I see your resemblance in my
face And on our birthday I said an extra wish for
you (for you)
And I have learned so much since you've been gone
And I have done so little for so long So now I'll
settle up my grievances And focus on the savory
And wave all these discrepancies away And I'll
peter out these misconceptions Give out faith at
my discretion Live a life that you would think was
sane (sane)
Displaying changes That they have made And I
wonder if you ever really wanted it this way And in
your memory they even hung a plaque for you
(for you)
And I have learned so much since you've been gone
And I have done so little for so long. So now I'll
settle up these grievances And focus on the
savory And wave all these discrepancies away. And
I'll peter out these misconceptions, Give out faith
at my discretion Live a life that you would think
was sane (sane)
