[Piano intro]

I fell asleep in the water
I couldn't speak till i saw ya
(Taste just like regret
But i don't know it yet)

I had the range of a sawed off
Playing my greatest hits for ya
(Stack the cards, slide the hand
So, no more safe bets)

Tell me, what's in it for ya?
For me to unload it all on ya?
(Sidewalk full of trash;
Inside's still a mess)

Skip sleep and walk
To the car that's been waiting out front
(next stop far ahead
My promised land)

Did i try?
My best?
I didn't, i didn't, i didn't, no
Was it time?
To rest?
I couldn't, i couldn't, i couldn't go
I couldn't go

I fell asleep in the water
But it wasn't enough until i saw ya
Pacing my steps like i'm walkin towards death
Like the streetlights are flickering off ya

Mumble something to the man at the desk
Swim my way up with my heart on my breath

Knock out the rest
Been depressed
To say the least
I need a rest
Let's get un-

But you woke me up

(Fill my memories with echoes of this;
It's not a date it's just april 25th)
So can i cry?
Somewhere else?

(Not like to you it needs to matter
But i think i finally see the pattern, i)

Only ever start it once it's over
I think it's cause i'm safest on the run, yeah
But this time no i'm not sure where we're going
But maybe i know, oh i know, oh
That your love will lead me home?

Always feel the distance once we're closer
So if i let you in oh won't you promise me you'll hold it
Break me down until i'm back to normal
Cause baby i know, oh, i know, oh
That your love will leave me, whole

(But maybe i know, oh i know, oh
That your love will lead me home?)
