Learnin’ to Drown Lyrics by Vincent Neil Emerson

Vincent Neil Emerson

2021

[Verse 1]
Well I been sleepin' in my car
Been movin' fast but it seems I ain't gone far
And I can't believe oh what I am and what I used to be
I'm barely a man and livin' hard
Well my father killed himself and my mother hit the bar
Ain't it funny, ain't it funny how the world'll set you free?
[Chorus]
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
And my face don't look right without a frown
Well if you can't swim you better learn to drown
[Verse 2]
Well I been stealin' all my meals
I been gettin' by every time the well runs dry I tell myself
If it don't kill me then I guеss I'll never die
Wеll I been acting like a mule
Cause I'd rather hear you laugh than be here with my mind and all my thoughts
Well I guess I'll always be the laughin' fool
[Chorus]
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
And my face don't look right without a frown
Well if you can't swim you better learn to drown
[Verse 3]
Well I've thought about closin' the door
And ending it all like my father did before but it ain't worth
All the people who won't see me anymore
Well there ain't much that lasts too long
All the rights that I took wrong, all the lefts that still ain't gone
They will be here, here in my sad song
[Chorus]
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
And my face don't look right without a frown
Well if you can't swim you better learn to drown
