Tell Me Lyrics by The Green Children

Encounter

[Verse 1]
My mama's drowning and she won't stop
Until she's sinking, until all has been forgot
It's getting heavier holding you up
We're both going under if you decide you're giving up
Mama, I need you to swim to shore
Show me you're fighting that inner war
Isn't it in you to wanna be living like before?
[Bridge]
So tell me, tell me now
Tell me, you're gonna try
Tell me, you don't want to break my heart
[Chorus]
The water's getting colder
It's nearly frozen over
I'm finding it hard to move
And soon we're gonna lose
[Verse 2]
Mama's falling, she's falling fast
And I can't reach her 'cause she's stumbling on the past
Mama, I need you to wake up
Leave what you've lost, see what you've got
I am what you forgot
[Bridge]
Tell me, tell me why
Tell me, you've gotta try
And tell me, 'cause you've been breaking my heart
[Chorus]
The water's getting colder
It's nearly frozen over
I'm finding it hard to move
And soon we're gonna lose
The water's getting colder
It's nearly frozen over
I'm finding it hard to move
And soon we're gonna lose
[Middle 8]
I just don't read you, why you're calling for help
You're letting me go every time I lay down my rope
Are you calling, are you calling?
Make me understand
I just don't read you, why you're calling for help
You're letting me go every time I lay down my rope
Are you calling, are you calling?
Make me understand
[Bridge]
Tell me, tell me now
Tell me, you're gonna try
Tell me, you don't wanna break my heart
So tell me, tell me why
Tell me, you've gotta try
And tell me, you don't wanna break my heart
[Chorus]
The water's getting colder
It's nearly frozen over
I'm finding it hard to move
And soon we're gonna lose
We're both growing older
Feelings flowing over
And soon it will be too late
To realize our mistakes
