Breakage, Detour City - Treading Water lyrics
[Breakage, Detour City - Treading Water lyrics]
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
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
You're drowning in me
And you're pulling me, 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
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
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
You're drowning in me
And you're pulling me, 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
