Drowning Lyrics by Låpsley

These Elements - EP

2019

[Verse 1]
Mother, I've been questioning the truth
I've been wishing away my youth
Mother, I don't feel a sense of calm
Living in a constant state of alarm

[Pre-Chorus]
You said I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water
You said I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water
I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water

[Chorus]
So why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?
Ooh, why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?
So why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?
Ooh, why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

[Verse 2]
Father, I've been running with the wolves
I've been tryna keep my cup half full
I tread water
Father, I get lost in my own head
And I remember everything you said
I tread water

[Pre-Chorus]
You said I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water
You said I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water
I could always swim so far
I was like a fish in water

[Chorus]
So why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?
Ooh, why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?
So why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?
Ooh, why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning?

[Outro]
So why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning? (Slipping under surface)
Ooh, why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning? (Slipping under waves)
So why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning? (Slipping under surface)
Ooh, why am I
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning? (Slipping under waves)
