Drowning Lyrics by Joe Jackson

Drowning Lyrics

    I don't love you
    But i'm lost
    Thinking of you
    And the ghosts
    Of so many special moments
    That passed so quickly at the time
    And now they come and track me down
    And echo round and round and round
    And time goes quickly
    Or disappears completely
    And i feel like i fade away
    Like drowning

    I don't need you
    But it's so hard
    To be without you
    Though you're not far away
    I censor my emotions
    And tell myself to bide my time
    But every time you come around
    You batter my defenses down
    But so gently
    Like some sweet hypnosis
    And the world just slips away
    I'm drowning

    It's dark
    My heart is pounding
    I'm sinking down
    Into a pool of passion
    There's laughter as i drown
    Like so many lost before me
    Damned by lust and gone to hell
    And then i look into your eyes
    And something melts
    I shake inside
    And cool water
    Washes me all over
    Washes me away
    And still i'm drowning
