Treading Water

Don't let go and slip down into the deep
 I'll hold you up, but it's harder and harder to see
 Down here, where the light fades
 The sound of our loving is swallowed inside
 There's nowhere to hide
 "Always live for love", you said
 "Never live for pain", you said
 So why are we trapped in this slipstream of me?
 We both can't tread water
 ♪
 Oh-oh-oh, oh
 There's more to this than can ever be the truth
 Steel blue on my lips and the taste, the taste of you
 Like ribbons 'round my neck, the tide tightens, the dark lightens
 But I won't leave, I won't let go
 You're all I've ever known
 "Always live for love", you said
 "Never live for pain", you said
 So why are we trapped in this slipstream of me?
 We both can't tread water
 You're drowning in me
 And you're pulling, you're pulling me down
 The water is rising, rising up in me
 And I can't look away, and I can't breathe
 It's all disappearing, it's all slowly sinking
 And I just need to leave
 ♪
 Drowning, oh, yeah
 Oh-oh...
