the place where i drown - cristina hawke lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
dull
the shame of my youth growing old
the turn at the edge of the fish bowl
the sting of rejection

[verse 2]
by those eyes
peering from the place i despise
’til i’m pinned like a scared b*tterfly
shaking in wonder

[verse 3]
through the years the call stays the same
gentle voices, each with a different name
sing there’s a place for me out in the cove
past the refrain…

[pre*chorus]
don’t let me be drawn to the place where i drown
drawn to the place where i drown

[chorus]
but if i die tomorrow
may my obituary be
that there was a song
and it swallowed me
[verse 4]
why the war?
when did the waves become blue carnivores?
i’ll steer, but i’m dreaming of the shore
to see past all the salt in my eyes

[verse 5]
i know it’s a trap
but it wouldn’t be me if i turned back
and it wouldn’t be life with the map

[verse 6]
through the years
the journey’s the same
wild oceans, each with a different name
is there a place for me, out in the cove
past the refrain?

[pre*chorus]
don’t let me be drawn to the place where i drown
drawn to the place where i drown

[chorus]
but if i die tomorrow
may my obituary be
that i wrote this song
then it swallowed me
[outro]
pieces of glass on the beach
cuts on my hands and my knees
bittersweet notes on the breeze
and new walls to my nursery
